Samsung Spins Off Its Display Business 60
redletterdave writes "Samsung Electronics announced Monday that it will spin off its LCD business division to launch a new entity, provisionally called Samsung Display Co., set to go live on April 1, 2012. The new business will launch with about $668 million in capital, but Samsung plans to invest about $5.8 billion in 2012 to develop better displays. The move, which now awaits shareholder approval, has been rumored for months since Samsung's LCD business announced operating losses of $666 million in 2011, citing sluggish TV sales. The company's spin-off display business may eventually merge with Samsung Mobile Display, which makes the company's organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels that are currently in high demand."

Because without that, most of the market at the current price levels is saturated with "good enough" screens and wont see much of a point in upgrading
Affordable 1920*1200 screens at 22 inch, and 2560*1600 or 2560*1440 at 24inch or 27 inch will get atleast the monitor market moving again (and GPU market)
