    Well, then definitely return it just in case it does have the grainyness disease and you just don't notice it. And if the next one doesn't show any signs of grainyness, continue to return until you eventually receive one with grainyness.

    Only then will you definitely know what it is!

    Wow- only in the good ole USA are people so stupid and / or bored that they lament over whether they have a problem they cannot even observe.

    No such thing as a problem free product- only a problem yet to be discovered... brilliant!

    It depends on your preferences, I suppose.

    I have the Samsung display and I think it's perfectly fine. Bright, colors are good, and whites are white.
