Title: Computer and LCD Price Drops
Post by: zman on July 30, 2006, 04:30:18 PM: I recently read that PC prices should be dropping due to a drop in the cost of processors.

I also read that LCD prices should also be going down, due to an abundance of inventory the manufacturers have.

Maybe I can finally get a nice LCD screen!

I have noticed this also. I bought an 14" LCD about 3 years ago and now I can get one that is 5" larger for $100 less than what I paid. Might have to get a new one...

That sucks. It seems like a trend with alot of stuff, computer and those USB storage drives have dropped quite a bit relative to their features.

-On a side note, gas prices are plummeting!!! :o

I agree with that, while the labs are nice, a comptuer goes a long way!
