Samsung Electronics objections notwithstanding, the main LCD panel manufacturers want the 15.6" panel segment to grow.

Apart from the already mentioned, you can count on AU Optronics (AUO), Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO), LG Display and Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) to promote the new panel standard for notebooks, which will mean a change (you're damn right,again! ) in the aspect ratio. If going from 15" to 15.4" left the good old 4:3 behind in favour of the 16:10 format, now 16:9 wants to be the new kid on the block and he will bring along his gang, a whole new set of resolutions. Don't you just love leaving your favourite games in the dust?

Panel prices for 15.6" will be very close to those of current panels, around $98-100, but some manufacturers are even aiming for a cheaper goal of $85. Wouldn't it be nice if we could buy them at that price?
