That's hard to believe. I don't know what "off brand" means exactly, but my understanding is that there are only a small handfull of LCD panel makers out there,...Samsung, Sony, Sharp(others?)...and THEY are the ones who supply other co's with "off brand panels". Samsung and Sony have a huge investment in their joint LCD developement so I doubt if they would be using other companies for panels...I can't carve that in stone, but it just doesn't sound right to me that they would use an outside source for something they invested so heavily in.
