The price of popular 17-inch LCD panels, the screen part of a monitor, rose 5.8 percent in the first half of August, compared to the previous two weeks, and another 2.7 percent in the second half of the month, according to WitsView Technology, an industry researcher. The decline in prices for LCD TV panels, from 20.1 inch to 42 inch sizes, has also nearly been halted. The price of 42-inch panels declined 1.4 percent, but the price of other sizes remained flat to slightly down, a huge improvement over the past few months.

Users may have become accustomed to rapid price declines such as the ones the market has seen most of this year. Between April and June, for example, the price of large-sized LCD panels used in LCD TVs fell by over a fourth, compared to the first three months of the year, according to WitsView.
