Doesn't necessarily make them bad panels, just ones that LG likely gave for free (or almost free) to the monitor manufacturer and as such they won't offer any warranty for them.

Sounds like a plausible explanation and it shouldn't really be much of a problem then. I dont think it matters much if LG isn't offering any warranty for them, as the manufacturer can easily replace faulty ones with little to no cost if they need to honor any remaining warranty to their resellers.
