but display vendors don’t want the support call that comes with outside, third party software that can really brick the display if not properly implemented.
They seem to be small children, afraid of the dark (i.e. a pathetic excuse that deserves contempt.) Really, users aren't so dumb as to start blaming the display manufacturer when they ran software 'X' and something went wrong. They are right to blame display manufacturers if they make devices that are easy to brick merely by configuring them (i.e. that permanently stop working in a way that needs an EEPROM re-flash etc.), and don't have a simple and fairly obvious way of returning a display to factory default. They are also right to condemn display manufacturers that are deliberately holding back technical progress by actively preventing inter-operability and user choice. Such manufacturers are sending a clear message that customers needs are not their priority. Graeme Gill.
