Really why?

I know the poofta crowd will think its just another hate thread but this is screens we are talking about.

The Cinema screens use the same panels as most LGs, LG.Philips screens.

They dont have any special features that I can read about.

They look........Well thats personal preference. They dont look special to me. Just a white thin bezel.

And they crack when you open them. THe acrylic side covers crack even when you do it with care. THat sucks, because I want to be able to open my stuff up.

Anyone have one of these? What makes it worth the premium over a good LG or NEC or Samsung screen?
