LCD Panel Inventory Building Up

Inventory is getting high, which means it's time for production to slow down.

LCD panels have been selling well, there's no secret about that. It seems that they haven't been selling quite as well as expected though, since major manufacturers are starting to pile up inventory.

According to a recent report by DisplaySearch, "Most brands are still facing high inventories for LED-backlit LCD TV models." That means that we're likely to see quite a bit of promotion for the LED backlit sets - companies want to move them before new models hit the shelves.

Research from iSuppli reveals similar findings, and speculates that the overabundance of LED backlit LCD televisions could result in lower prices to prevent oversupply.

"If panel suppliers can control production skillfully and rationally, 2011 can be very positive year for the LCD industry," says iSuppli's Sweta Dash. "On the other hand, excessive production in the first half may lead to an inventory buildup and oversupply in 2011."

LG Announces World's Largest LED Backlit TV

At 72 inches, the LEX9 is huge, feature packed, and 3D capable.

There's a world that exists past sixty inches. It's a world dominated by DLP televisions and all types of projectors. It's not a place where LCD sets go often, but LG is going there in a very big way.

The LEX9, LG's recently announced LED backlit LCD set, comes in at a massive 72 inches. It's the largest LED LCD in the world, and by default that makes it the largest 3D LED LCD in the world as well. It sports TruMotion 400Hz that helps to eliminate screen blur and makes sure 3D is nice and easy to watch.

LG's LEX9 sports the familiar Infinia design – it's incredibly thin and features a narrow bezel. It's also equipped with everything you'd expect from a high end LG set, like DLNA compliance and NetCast functionality.

There's no word on pricing yet, but we'll certainly find out more before the LEX9 is released in the spring of 2011.
