thanks for the info follow up, man that really sucks. i have to admit, i wouldnt mind using some of the 6,7,8000 series panels, but i absolutely will not support this CI unfriendly product. especially after learning they have attached power cords, i just think that is ridiculous. it is a step backwards for them. i just used several 22" and 32" panels for kitchens and beds and they all detachable power cords, but the new high end large panels dont!
