Pricing for 32-inch open cell TV panels has increased from about US$85 in mid-June 2014 to US$87 in mid-July, up from about US$79 in mid-April, according to DisplaySearch.

Pricing for 40- and 42-inch 60Hz open cell TV panels meanwhile has remained between US$128-142 in July, flat on month, while 48- and 50-inch Full HD TV panels have also shown flat pricing between US$186-206.

The firm said that TV panel supply is becoming balanced and the supply for some sizes like 23.6-, 39.5-, and 48-inch is still tight at some vendors. For some leading TV vendors, the supply of 32-inch TV panels has been reversed from constraint to slight excess, but there are others for whom demand still cannot be fulfilled, causing a slight increase in pricing.
