Buying some leftovers from some supplier is likely not the same as securing a reliable supply for periodic few thousand unit sales for a few years.
There's likely some sweet (sour) spot of "not enough" that the supplier will care, and "too much" to satisfy your demand from some stock leftovers.
- zamadatix 5y agoThese panels are produced by the millions for use in dozens of different devices over many years so why are we talking about using leftovers and availability of a few thousand? The resolution doesn't even come into play here as 4k panels haven't been boutique items since a decade ago, you go through the exact same supply chain process talking to the exact same manufacturers as you would vetting and selecting which 1080p panel to source. You don't need to be a mega company to source 4k panels instead of 1080p panels in 2021, both are long past being volume commodity parts the same as sourcing 16 GB DIMMs instead of 4 GB DIMMs doesn't require you be Apple or Dell either.
