I bought a samsung ln32a550 1080p A-panel lcd tv. I have been reading that in the back panel of tv there is a letter S, C, A, and that the quality from A- panels and C- panels are inferior to S- panels. Have you found this to be true and what is your samsung tv.

I have found that the viewing angle on a A-panle is much worse and narrow (about 30 deg) than on a S panel tv. When viewing at a off angle picture looks washed out, other wise the color is good quality when looking head on. The letter a, s, c is after the model number in back of tv.


S=made by samsung at samsung factory
A=made by auo for samsung -outsourced
C= Made by chi-me for samsung - outsourced
