Dell has launched yet another legal salvo in the ongoing war over LCD price fixing. This time those on the receiving end are Hitachi, Sharp, Toshiba, HannStar, and Seiko. Dell isn’t alone in this war, though. AT&T has an interest in LCD prices as every phone has at least one pricey screen. The cell carrier even went so far as to accuse LG, Samsung, and AU Optronics of price fixing last October. Just a month later, Nokia got involved as well.
Hitachi and Sharp in particular don’t appear to be fairing well. Last year the companies admitted to a LCD price fixing scheme and had to pay $585 million in damages. Some executives even ended up in jail over the matter. We’ll have to keep as eye on this one, as it could result in cheaper LCDs one day. Well, after everyone pays off their legal bills.

LCD prices stink, even if big screen TV's are dropping a bit.

What is wrong with flash drive prices? Considering I can get a 16-32GB drive for around $20-40 depending on brand and speed class.
