14 DAY TRIAL // It's strange to see that what used to be the greatest facet of the technology industry is now steadily declining, dragging other segments with it.
That is to say, PCs have been selling less and less. Not enough to suggest the segment would ever disappear but enough to notice.
Monitors have been going down with it, to the point where analyst foresee a global drop for 2013.
China, apparently, is the only country where things will hold steady for a while.
There are supposedly enough owners of old monitors that want to change to a newer LCD model.
Lenovo, Samsung, HP, Dell and Philips are bound to sell quite a few of them.
41% of total shipments will be in sizes of 20 inches and above, like until now, and 14% of those will be 23-inch and larger.
That leaves 20% to use 17-inch monitors.
We're bound to see new models launched over the next few months, and a whole lot of them will be shown at IFA 2013 in September, in Berlin, Germany.
