Are TFT prices going up?

I've been sort of half looking for a 17" TFT for a while, or even two.
A couple of months ago prices were nudging the £100 mark with several
around the £110 area.

I've just looked again and there doesn't seem to be anything down at
that price level. Am I looking in the wrong places or have prices
gone up a little?

prices will drop thats the nature of IT, the drop in the us dollar may be
affecting prices slightly currently.

So what on earth has that 'answer' got to do with my question?

I asked if prices have gone up, you answer they will go down! Hmmmm.

Use your common sense.
Yes all TFT's from every manufacturer have gone up by about £10. Are you
stupid.

To answer your question then: Answer: NO. I'm sure that really helps
you.

Yes it does actually, that's why I asked the question. It means
there's no point in searching harder as prices really have gone up a
bit.

Its that time of year when manufacturers will start thinking that people
will be buying such things for Christmas presents!! Wait for the sales in
late December when they have stock left they want to get rid of and the
January sales.

In essence, prices have gone down, but fluctuations in exchange rates
may have more than absorbed the drop.

Likley also is that 17" are becoming less common as companies are
shifting towards larger displays, hence they have a premium due to
being lower production runs.

On top of that in the last few months LCD specs have improved hence
new models coming out with faster response times, hence slight
increased prices to cover R&D costs.
