Analysis Highlight and Recent Prices by Size and Resolution for LCD TV Panels

TV panel prices for 39" and above continued to drop modestly in the first half of May. TV makers, especially Chinese TV brands, are not in a rush to build panel inventory as there is still uncertainty in the market: seasonal slowness in Q2 and early Q3, the sell-through results for new products in the recent May Day holidays especially 4K×2K LCD TVs in China, and rumors of changes in the second round of the Chinese energy subsidy program. These rumors are affecting TV makers’ purchasing decisions and plans because different scenarios are currently under discussion, but the anticipated announcement is likely to be delayed until late Q3 or early Q4.
