LCD panel prices drop 10% and the manufacturers are crying foul... give me a break. More like losses against expected profits... which isn't losses at all... just a way of reporting to shareholders that greed in the company comes first! Keep your accountants handy..

Anyone expect panel prices to drop further? Sure, with 100's of million of consumers getting their wallets ready... there's enough for everyone.

Panel prices will continue to fall at blister rates until they reflect the true manufacturing costs and a reasonable margin. This is one of the few cases of true competitive competition keeping prices in check on a world scale.

Let the technology with the biggest competitive advantage win... and the race started yesterday.
