Samsung is expecting a 10% drop in LCD prices

We all know that prices of top-tier electronics drop with time, but it can be hard to predict how and when without Martha Stewart type info. Samsung has gone on record saying that they expect the prices of LCDs to drop 10% during the 2nd quarter of the year. An independent analyst has forecasted the industry's average LCD price to fall nearly 14% this quarter, which would make that 3% more then the first quarter. This may be music to your ears, but not to the manufacturers of these sets. Oh no. They are expecting to report operating losses due to this price drop and the increases of competition.

Cheaper prices. We're not complaining though.
