Smaller TVs Decline but IT LCD Panels Still Rising

What They Say

Digitimes released data from Sigmaintell that follows on from the data that follows on from data we got from the firm a few days ago. (Sigmaintell Issues July 2021 (early) TV & Mobile Panel Prices). The data shows that prices are on their way back down after the peak and the forecast for August also expects a level of reduction again.

What We Think

As we saw in the previous data, it is the small to medium TV panels at 32″ to 42″ that are seeing the biggest drop. However IT panels for monitors and notebooks are rising again. (BR)
