LCD MOnitor Panel Price Rises - Effective May 2009

The demand for LCD TV panels remains strong; therefore panel makers are prioritizing for TV panel production. As a result, monitor panel supply, especially for 16:9 panels, remains tight, and panel makers are quoting price increases of more than $5 in the first half of May. To secure panel allocations, monitor panel buyers are paying to get the volume. Increasing demand for smaller LCD TVs that use monitor panels is also making the supply of wide screens tight. Meanwhile, panel makers are raising fab utilization to meet the current demand, but some panel makers are still cautious about production planning due to concerns about future demand.

The rise of the green LCD monitor.

Green LCD panels are projected to represent 50% of all shipments by 2011 and 100% by 2014.

New Edge10 Service Centre Phone System

We have invested in a new telephone system to better manage our calls via intelligent routing systems and also to provide live statistics. Whilst the current system did do this, the bottom line is that we felt it did not do it well enough and various technological enhancements now give us further options with our telephony.

 

Several internal meetings have taken place to look at the best structure for the call centre to best manage your calls in conjunction with the new system, which has been a significant investment for us. However it is a worthwhile one on the basis we are managing your front line service calls.

 

I want you to be assured we are doing our utmost to ensure our incoming calls are answered as soon as possible and customers who have called through to your office are called back within the hour.  The target of course is that with our new phone system and new set up in the call centre the amount of calls you receive from customers should decrease.

 

 

We have technicians on site all day testing and tweaking the system and by the end of this week we hope it will be fully operational.
