CNET reviews unusable - literally

[almostdecent]

Just a word of warning. While researching for the right 19-inch LCD for myself, I have naturally been culling information from numerous sources, one being the very conspicuous CNET. I say conspicuous since their reviews appear everywhere from Business Week to the NY Times. Unfortunately the quality control seems to have gone down the drain, and by this don't think I'm pitting my opinion against theirs.

First I ran into a review on the Syncmaster 930B (http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_SyncMaster_930B/4505-3174_7-31412295-2.html) which not only shows a performance chart of the 915N, but even concludes the review discussing it instead. Now I decided to check up on the Sony SDM-HS95P (admittedly out of my price range as I see now) and was flabbergasted to see the review of a 17-inch model instead. Wondering whether there was a switch around, I soon found that the same review was attributed to no less than 11 products as can be seen here: http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_19_in_HS_Series_Flat_Panel_Digital_Display_SDM_HS95P_B/4652-3174_7-31257539.html?tag=top

I reported the incidents of course, but must say my opinion of their quality control simultaneously went down the drain.

Cheers,

Albert

WOW! That is unbelievable. I can't believe nobody else has picked up on this!

Very "nice" find!
