Samsung's profits are certainly not going "down the drain" on LCD monitors. Not even close. A quick google search gave me the results that for the 2nd Quarter of '04, the total revenue for LCD sales was KRW 2.47 Trillion (That's just over 2 billion USD). With a profit margin of 33.1% (so profits are just over 700 million USD). Swapping out a monitor here and there will certainly not hurt their profits significantly, but will do good things for their reputation as a company who does what it takes to please their customers.
