szerintem a gyártók nemigazán közlik a készülékbe épített paneltípust - ez utólag derül ki mindig (kiszivárog szervízmanual, valaki szétszedi) egy átlag notebook modelbe vagy jó 4-5 féle gyártótól is származhat a tft.
Azzal önmagában nincs baj, ha készlethiány, vagy gazdaságossági okok miatt a gyártó a modellciklus közben lecseréli az alkalmazott panelt, ha:
- az tulajdonságaiban nem észrevehetően rosszabb.
- feltűnteti a termék jelölésében és/vagy a dokumentációban a változást, elkerülve a vevő tudatos megtévesztését.
A probléma itt kezdődik:

Several manufacturers, including Dell and Samsung, have played the panel "bait and switch" game thinking no one would notice. A controversial practice called a "panel lottery" by others, they will originally release a good panel (for reviewers) and switch to an inferior one later on. Dell first put an S-IPS in their 2007WFP and later switched to an S-PVA, whose performance was deemed very low compared to the S-IPS. Samsung originally was making "S" (Samsung) TN panels for their 226BW, until they outsourced their production to AU Optronics ("A"), CMO ("C"), and CPT ("P"). The A, C, and P panels performed poorly at the default color settings. All of their colors were equal after calibration, although the C panel had more issues with response time. Since many folks don't own a colorimeter, they will end up with a panel that can't display colors with the same fidelity as the original "S" panel. Later, both Dell and Samsung began hiding the panel information from the service menu and the back panel.
In an interview, Samsung stated that after April 1st they would release only "S" panels (in France). Three Frenchmen discovered 2 A panels and 1 C panel with their 226BWs manufactured after April 1.
Dell and Samsung claim that they did this because of stock problems. Well, if they didn't have enough stock why did they continue selling it under the same model name? It obviously makes it frustrating for users who try to pick the right panel. It doesn't help that the "alternate panel" often falls way behind the original.
HP also has switched to AMVA in its HP LP2065 model in some cases, but at least they registered the change with the FCC in publicly available format unlike Dell/Samsung who really kept it under the covers. HP did keep a label on their box also indicating the panel.
