For sum reason those links dont work, but based on what i know right now the suppliers for NCIX are having sales on the LG's this week.. Both brands are good and reliable...

i got a lg and its dope. samsungs are good too, alotta people like em. thing is samsung,lg, most big name brands dont even make their own parts it all gets contracted out to cheap ass companies in china. buy both n see which one looks better and return the other but i dont think you could go wrong with either one. i bought/returned several acers before. i bought one lg and had no trouble, i chose it over the cheaper(at the time) comparable samsung model.

^ samsung and sony make their panels together last I checked. so the only diff between sony vs samsung is the electronics controlling feeding the signal to it. lg would be more likely to contract out

LG.Philips is one of the largest LCD panel manufacturers in the world, so I doubt LG would be "more likely to contract out," especially given Samsung's history of using 3rd party panels after the 1st revision.

I've only ever had Samsungs. No issues ever for myself.
Went though an ordeal with an LG TV that was dead on arrival, then 2nd one had dead pixels right out of the box. Customer ended up going to Samsung, which has been problem free.

We bought 8 Samsung monitors for our shop last year. Last week 1 of them of them just stopped working. So we replaced it with an LG will see what happens i guess. We went with samsung because ive owned a 40"lcd a 32" lcd and ive never had a problem.
