Well, in the monitor/tv dept, ive heard that pretty much EVERY company pays best buy, circuit city, compusa, etc etc to brighten the contrast and fine tune the picture on their models and even to worsen the quality on others, as well as sending them special models. unlike most people on slashdot i think...im not anti-microsoft, i havent really seen them do anything like this like someone had sad previously saying it was "obvious". but yea...gfx card manufacturers...as well as intel amd etc...all send these "unlocked" cards/chips...take a look at THG.
