LCD Juggernaut: Tom's Hardware Looks Into Samsung's Seoul
LCD Juggernaut: Tom's Hardware Looks Into Samsung's Seoul
Enter The Tiger*
After our photo tour inside Western Digital proved so popular with readers, we asked around to other vendors, looking for similar opportunities. So when Samsung invited Tom’s Hardware to send a journalist on a small press and analyst tour of its LCD manufacturing facilities in Tangjeong, South Korea, we jumped at the chance. Who in their right mind wouldn’t be excited to go? With so much change happening in displays now—240 Hz refreshing, AMOLED breakthroughs, the rise of 3D, and displays big enough to practically fill a wall—imagine being able to take a first-ever look inside where many of these technologies are created!
* The tiger is South Korea’s national animal.

Nice article as usual as well, pity bout the actual manufacturing floor and filming stuff though

It's amazing what goes into a factory of this enormous scale.
Did anyone notice the garage doors in the side of the Fabs in the larger pics? It looked like garage doors in the sides several stories up. Good thing this isn't a Foxconn factory.
It's not unusual for them to outsource some of their production to the largest producer of LCD's. Probably though, some of their higher-end or newer models may still be made by Sony itself.
Ha ha. Proves something about XPs popularity, an OS that refuses to die despite its creator's sincere efforts.
At least they are contributing positively to their economy unlike your lazy ass...
Anyways, I read everything and slowly going through each page. Nice trip! Hope to see more from Samsung. (they're now making mirrorless digital cameras too)
