LCD Panel Prices Fall Faster Than Expected

LCD TV and monitor prices are set to fall much faster than previously forecasted, according to market research firm DisplaySearch.
In June, average prices for LCD monitors fell for the first time in a year, and will apparently drop every month until the end of the year – when they're expected to be selling for US$282. An earlier forecast predicted that they'd be selling for US$298. Average prices for LCD monitors peaked in May this year at US$302. Big-name monitor manufacturer Benq began dropping prices on LCD monitors late in the month, to get rid of excess and unwanted stock. And due to lack of demand from consumers, it appears.

    Maximum PC had an article a month or so ago about how some new LCD's are much more gamer friendly. They have made great strides but I'm not quite convinced yet to give up my trusty CRT for gaming. LCD's for everything else though.
