Little doubt of Sager's (and other Clevo builders) screens procedence

[ursoouindio]

thats nice to read, as I'm falling to close the deal with the local brand

[hizzaah]

^^ That's true. Most if not all TN panels of same size and resolution cost about the same regardless of the specs like gamut, brightness, contrast, etc.

try telling that to the companies that are charging +$200 for the 95% screen gamut upgrade

And what about other parts, like optical drives??

I asked for a Blu-Ray Reader, it was cheaper on the local brand than with the Sager one.

Would you think it can mostly differ in quality? I don't think there's a lot of manufacturers for such things...
I thought it would be just a pricing policy of each company...

They/we are also charging the same price for the 72% and 90% gamut screen upgrade. First, high quality panels (no dead/stuck pixels, no/minimal bleed, no other defects) with warranty are much more expensive than those found on the black market for 60-80$. The lowest price for quality screens with warranty I've seen was ~140-160$ before shipping, but it can go as high as 220$+ before shipping with certain distributors.
Second, there's also a labor involved swapping the panels.

Wait...so the 95% gamut screen includes a no dead pixel guarantee?

[Aikimox]

Depends on the arrangement with your reseller. Generally, every panel is tested for quality and if dead pixels are found it should be replaced. The standard policy allows for up to 5 dead/stuck pixels, As far as I know. But some resellers may have their own policy, so please check with them directly.
