24" LCD panel : price war

The market for small-size LCD panels is already saturated. So, the battle is moving to larger size LCD panels, leading to a possible overproduction and a new price decrease in the months to come. Dell has been the first to fire with its 24" LCD display proposed with a very aggressive price. Today, it is Acer that is officially launching a 24" LCD model at a low price.

The AL24160, with high-end performance level, is available at 871$ in Taiwan, or 860Euro in France/Europe.
One can expect that Apple will react since those 24" LCD display are almost the same price than the 20" Apple Cinema Display.
Knowing Apple strategy, we would not be surprise to see price cuts and the current 23" model becoming the entry-level, while a high-end model larger than the 30" model, will be introduced.
