Just curiosity.
Thanks, edmartin.

Interesting. I just e-mailed Samson Cables and apparently they've never stocked or even seen the fabled Chinese 48's. Also, they've never received any complaints from customers about Indonesian 48's with screen discolorations in the bottom corners. This is strange since the unit I have
( serial# ID12200572 - 22nd week of 2001 ) has this defect as well as all the other new 48's produced around that time
that I saw. (where "saw" constitutes me looking at all the blister packed 48's on the shelf at a local Fry's Electronics ;) Can anyone else vouch for the existence of 2001 Indonesian models with the same problem or was mine just a fluke? Perhaps later models have switched to a different screen?
