Average retail prices for 20- and 24-inch LCD monitors in the US, UK, Germany, China and Japan during April 2015 are expected to decrease 8.7% to US$116 and 6.5% to US$244, respectively, according to Digitimes Research.
Average pricing for units sized 20-inch will be influenced from lower-priced units such as D-Sub Only interface monitors from LG Electronics coupled with rising demand for monitors sized 22-inch and above.
Monitors sized 24-inch will see a larger decline compared to 22- and 23-inch units as many vendors drop pricing and because vendors such as Acer and LG will choose to push forth 23-inch units as their higher-end, higher-priced units.
Digitimes Research also noted that LG has emphasized on products with mid-range pricing during the first half of 2015 and is using DVI/D-Sub Only interface technology to help drop retail pricing for 24- and 20-inch units.
