Who Makes The Best Monitors?

Which brands make the best monitors and tvs? I have a Samsung UR55 4K monitor, and I think it's pretty nice. I tried using an LG monitor, and the picture looked odd. I've heard that LG makes really crappy displays that don't last very long. I've also heard that they're the display provider for Apple.

t. uses a 5:4 TFT screen that's been going everyday since it was new in 2003

MSI

Best for what? Eizo makes some of the most uniform and color accurate monitors in their ColorEdge line. But they're not good for gaming or HDR content consumption. For general desktop use they're overkill.

For TVs I'd go with an OLED, or a high end Samsung LCD if burn in scares you too much.

You gotta learn to separate the various parts of the display in your thinking.
Samsung monitors are glued together garbage but the Samsung display panels are good. LG makes panels for damn near everyone so you can usually find the same panel as an LG monitor under a different brand for cheaper.
Some companies use generic firmware that's barely changed from the stock OEM ones while others customize the shit out of it for better or worse.
And of course half the time you won't know what the guts are unless you have the monitor on hand and have already disassembled it.
About a decade ago LG made a decently priced TV with amazing latency and great picture quality, but they shipped the damn thing with one of half a dozen different panels only one of which was any good and the only way to know which you had was to look through one of the cooling vents on the back of the TV to read a label on the inside.

You're pretty much right. I bought a chinky Xiaomi monitor that uses a Samsung panel and despite not having HDR it's pretty great once you disable overdrive and all that latency shit.

A few months ago my parents' TV died, pretty sure the TCON board went out, but that TV was a piece of shit anyway and wasn't worth the time to try to fix. Instead I just looked on craigslist and picked the first one that didn't obviously seem like garbage was only about a five minute drive away. Didn't even know what the brand was before I went there, but it was $25, so whatever.
Found it to be an LG 42LH30. Later I tried looking up what the panel was, or even could be. From what I read, the TV was originally sold with a pretty great LG IPS panel, later LG started substituting mediocre AUO VA panels, and after that I think they found some even shittier panels before that model was discontinued. Can confirm that the only way to tell is by looking for stickers through a rear grille, even the TV's several hidden service menus don't list the panel model anywhere. The one I got turned out to have the good IPS panel, pretty good deal for 25 bucks.

Somehow someway Gigabyte. Who would have thought.

The dream is dead. They still make 16:10 for laptops, but refuse for diy market.

the hardware unboxed channel and the monitors unboxed side channel have exhaustive autistic breakdown and test results of modern monitors

go watch that shit if you want an answer.
