Marketing crap, everyone is doing it now. Want to have some real fun? Go to Best Buy and ask ten different guys in TVs what "class" this and "class" that means and see if they give you different and completely stupid answers.

thanks guys, just a scam of course i was so naive (sp?) happy weekend to all!

(sp?)

You spelled Naive correctly if that's what you are wondering.

I wouldn't say it's a scam, it's just marketing. It would be a scam if they charged you more because they started using that word, kinda like how Bose charges more for their speakers because they did "research" and use "technology" to make their speakers.

LOL, it makes a person wonder how the other guys make their speakers:

"Designs enchanted into being with rain sticks and eel livers!"

i guess scam is the wrong word, but its easy to slip into the mindset that most of wat you see and read about a product must be regarded with an automatic level of skepticism. oh man i just noticed spell check here, i couldnt spell skeptizzis, schekptisim oh well you get it...

Ah, just one of many opportunities at that place (at least in my experience - I'm sure that there are some very knowledgeable employees...somewhere).

Class.... um.... backwards spells ssalc... rearrange an s and get salcs.
Replace c, get SALES! WOW!
THOSE GUYS ARE SMART!

Honestly... I think someone in upper managment had a meeting after a cocaine break...

Boss1: "hmm... LCD tv's don't have as much class as this coke...."
Boss2: "class.... yeah... class sells"
Boss1: "you know what? We should label all tv's "class", make the people think they are "classy"
Boss3: (conference call overhears conversation): "Boss4 was talking to Monster Cable Cryptography Marketing engineers and he said that 'class' is actually restructured BS that can be safely added to any product, filled or devoid of 'class', and actually stands for sales when you remove a 'c' and re-arrange an 's' and spell backwards."
Boss1 and 2: "Where is that intern? We sent him for cocaine a half hour ago!"
