Don't go to Alibaba. That's where you'll find the stuff first
(manufacturers and stuff) ... 'cause then you'll end up going to
eBay to see if anybody is selling direct (and probably are)...
and then... cursing about not having enough $$$.... I didn't go
to eBay. I saw enough "wants" on alibaba that I knew NOT to go
down that route. I know it exists - saw up to 83" on alibaba...
Someday it'll be cheap and commonplace. That's good enough for
now. == well, you mentioned consumer tongue emoticon now if you
want to get up to specs, you might have to leave the nice little
newegg universe and head over to alibaba or ebay or one of the
"can I really trust these people with my money?" sites... then
you'll find the specs... and get the risk of being unable to
return if you have broken pixels and stuff tongue emoticon' =
oh i know tongue emoticon I still love my iPhone 5s. It's got a
tiny screen but I love using it. I never actually liked big
screens - even my laptop isn't that big. But contrast was very
important to me: I like my black to be VERY black... and it had
to have a matte finish because glossy SUCKS. It just sucks.
Sometimes you can get fooled by specs too. I bought a monitor
long ago: had all the perfect specs. Everything you said and
more. It's top notch and was the right price. But it had one
problem I NEVER considered: Viewing angle. If you deviate
SLIGHTLY from the proper viewing angle, it looks like crap. It's
not even a security feature. It's just impossible to use if you
move your head at all. All those awesome specs... awesome
price... and a single flaw. Couldn't use it. = My favorite
size was the iphone 4s. I LOVED the weight of it too. Hated
worrying about the glass. My nephew's got it now. With the new
Apple upgrade thing, the 5s will PROBABLY have to be my last
apple and I'll go to an android of some kind. It's nice having a
non-hackable unit. [yes, I know how to hack it, I'm just
CHOOSING not to): It forces me to be a consumer for a change,
instead of always perfecting it. I'm the guy that does the kind
of stuff that you're doing... and loving it. But by being
discouraged from dong that stuff with the iPhone: no expansion,
no custom rom, no kernel changing... no ANYTHING except apps,
forced me to actually use it, and it's become my buddy. Totally
different relationship with it than I had with other
computer-type things. == that's awesome smile emoticon I know
the moment I go back to Android I'll be back to extreme
customizing and tweaking. But I gotta tell you, being forced to
be "Average User", I've grown to appreciate Apple's focus on
ergonomics, human/computer interface, and stuff like that. I can
also see much better why Microsoft never mastered it, and never
will. == Private corps want profit. That's why they exist. They
want to keep their corporate patents. They want to keep their
internal intelligence intact. They don't WANT _anybody_ knowing
their secrets. Corporations are governments unto themselves.
Worldwide governments with the buyers as their constituents.
They find intelligence agencies to be mosquitoes to be swatted
only when necessary. I worked for Schering-Plough for a few
years. Big Pharma. You might think they're cuddle cuddle with
the feds but no. They were their own country. Govt was not their
friend and they'd duck and cover with lawyers. Same with Apple.
Same with Samsung. Same with any of 'em. ==
