because there's more money to be made selling TVs than monitors?
consequentely, it's TV manufacturers pushing the entire display maker industry ahead? and so they get the newer tech first??
- jjoonathan 5y agoThat's what I suspect, yes, but if that's the case it feels like integrating a monitor manufacturer would be a quick and easy business win for the TV guys.
- antisthenes 5y ago> it feels like integrating a monitor manufacturer would be a quick and easy business win for the TV guys. What does this even mean? The same companies that make panels for monitors usually make panels for the TVs as well. They already have production facilities that can manufacture panel sizes ranging from cell-phone size to 200" commercial wall panels.
- bluGill 5y agoMost people don't buy the volume to get a special size panel. Want a panel, you can save a ton of money buying one we already make. My company has obsoleted perfectly good embedded systems and had to redesign a new UI just because the panel we used went out of production. (I knew all along doing pixel perfect UI instead of one that scaled was a stupid idea, but I got overruled, now we spend a ton of money making our UI scale)
