    It’s funny how everyone pretends to give a fuck about environmentalism until they’re faced with the most minor of minor inconveniences.

      The conversation is actually about manufacturer greed (w.r.t sale prices going past $1000) and audacity to ask customers to pay that much for a less than perfect (their marketing material, theur words) device.

        I hate greedy corporations as much as the next guy, but manufacturers are not going to up their QC to include single dead pixels and take a hit to their profit margin. They’d increase prices, by a lot.

        Maybe there’s a market for displays that meet this standard for the nitpickers, and sell the ones that fail at a discount, but they’d definitely be a premium.

      I like how you’re trying to tie manufacturers selling defective items at full price to environmentalism as if that makes the practice okay.
