Research firm DisplaySearch has just released new pricing data which shows price drops in LCD TV and netbook screens. According to DisplaySearch’s new pricing data, the price of 10.x-inch netbook panels have decreased during the second half of March, along with prices of 37-inch-and-above LCD TV panels.
$2 USD is how much DisplaySearch says 10.x-inch netbooks screens have cheapened over the last two weeks, and while this may not seem significant to owners/buyers of new netbooks, it certainly does contribute to the overall price. On a related note, DigiTimes reports that demand for 8.9-inch widescreen panels on netbooks has dropped sharply, perhaps due to the proliferation of 10-inch screen netbooks in the market lately.
