Prices for LCD monitor panels to fall by 30-45% soon, says DisplaySearch

As in past Crystal Cycles, surging investment in new fab capacity is providing LCD panel buyers with the ability to drive prices down as panel suppliers become eager to sell their output.... the average selling price (ASP) of monitor panels may fall at a 30% to 45% annual rate in June and July 2008 ... monitor panel shipments increased sequentially in the first quarter of 2008 ... At the same time, demand for desktop PCs flattened or declined in developed markets ...

I'll believe it when I see it. It would be nice, though. Too bad it didn't happen six months ago, when I bought my two LCD's.

I want another non-TN 24" for $250. I think it'll be ok for LCD prices to remain mostly unchanged if they add more features.
