16:9 Panels to Replace 16:10 Panels, Says Research Firm
 

For years widescreen computer displays have used 16:10 panels, whereas consumer electronics utilized 16:9 panels. However, DisplaySearch market research firm predicts that personal computers will also utilize 16:9 panels eventually as 16:10 panels will vanish into thin air.

“In the near future, panel makers will take necessary phase-out tactics on the existing 16:10 LCD panels in order to drive the market to 16:9 panels. Panel makers did it for square panels, and they know how to do it again. Notebook PC and LCD monitor product planners and marketers must plan for the transition now to assure a smooth roll-out of products over the next four years and sufficient panel availability,” said DisplaySearch’s David Hsieh, Vice President, Greater China Market.
