Sharp joints flat-panel price cutting tomorrow

Tags: , , ,

Panasonic started it, Pioneer joined the fray, and now it is Sharp's turn to start cutting prices on flat-panel displays. The Wall Street Journal today notes that Sharp wll cut flat-panel LCD prices by as much as 26% tomorrow. The coolest bit: Sharp's 65-inch LCD will arrive in November for a cool $21,000 MSRP. Actual selling prices will be lower, but still won't compare with Panasonic's 65-inch 1080p plasma display that will hit the street for less than $10,000.
