    LCD Panel shortage…..

    It looks like demand for LCD Panels, particularly larger sizes and higher quality panels is going to exceed supply, and therefore it may be prudent to expect some possible shortages and price rises in 2007……

    That's the word from Samsung, who says that a shortage of flat panels might reduce availability and perhaps even drive up prices next year…….

    ... well instant increases on panels they already have in stock is them having a laught at our expense.

    They are probably reacting early to the comment from Samsung to take additional profit on currently in stock items..... shop arround!

    The Dell 24" (latest one) has recently (in the past week) gone up by £100 if you take a look on OcUK

    Agreed. Luckily I bought my 22" before the price went up as a shop assistant warned me it would.
