    It's a lottery. Both seem to ship arbitrarily.

    I was pleasantly surprised to get the Philips LG screen two weeks ago.

    That is absolutely not true. Both the Samsung and LG LCD panels are very similar once configured properly. Inform yourself: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=191784

    Also absolutely not (necessarily) true. I'm on my second Samsung screen. The first one was horrible quality. It wasn't a calibration issue, but a shoddy quality check. My current scree is better, but still has what I like to think of as a 'grit' issue that that the LG tends not to suffer from (though most of the Samsung's seem not to, either)... My colors are great and it's nice and bright, but the grain/grit issue does get to me after a few hours of staring at MathCAD or Solidworks or whatever else.

    In addition, there is quite a drastic difference in matters such as viewing angle. But that's entirely up to personal preference.
