Wow :) I got a 18 inch office-display by Fujitsu-Siemens with S-PVA panel, long ago.

Broke down after a long time. Repaired it by resoldering some simple capacitors.

During the repair I had a look at the chips. One (or two?)had that Faroudja label on it.

At the time I didn't know about that, and just wondered WTF is that? Searched the net and "got it". They meanwhile got bought up by someone, Wiki as of now says STMicroelectronics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroudja

That display is still working but mostly gathering dust, some 8800 km away from me, atop a 4x kvm, managing some old stuff, also gathering dust :)
