Prices of LCD panels fall through the floor: Inquirer

[Babrbarossa]

I dunno- I don't think I'd say they're through the FLOOR yet

"PEOPLE CONTEMPLATING buying big LCD TVs are headed for a bargain bonanza this year because of rapid price cuts on the panels.

Market research firm iSuppli now reckons 72.5 million LCD TV panels will ship this year, a rise of 42.7 per cent from last year.
The firm said prices of bigger panels "are declining precipitously" with a 32-inch unit dropping by 17 per cent during the first half of this year.
Additional panel capacity will fuel the move with 40-inch and 42-inch WXGA units also dropping price. Some manufacturers are selling 32-inch panels at prices below the cost of production. µ"

i -for one- have been patiently waiting for the price cuts to start since reading this story last year. Coincidence?
