Chinese workforce is expensive in these days. Do you remember the logo Designed in California, Made in China on each Apple device? Make them now in Vietnam as Microsoft and HP do and the price will drop 20%.

I doubt the sound is more accurate without grille. The screen will reduce the volume and distort the sound.

I would have expected 450 dpi not 320. You will see the dots if you have good vision. It is kinda let down, too expensive. I will pass it.
