Well this is a surprise! It appears that the average selling price of standard LCD panels between the sizes of 17 and 19 inch are going to go up rather than down. You would think that with Widescreen panels becoming the norm that prices should decrease rather than increase…

The current ASPs for 19- and 20-inch widescreen panels are staying at US$125 and US$135, respectively, the sources said. Although supply for the segments is tight now, the degree of tight supply is not as significant as that for the 17- and 19-inch standard ones, the sources noted.
