LCD Makers To Pay $388M in Price Fixing Suit
 

Since this is a class action lawsuit, lawyers will get 95% of the money and the rest will be divided up between the millions of people that bought monitors between 2001 and 2006. Samsung, Sharp, LG, and five other flat-screen display manufacturers have agreed to pay a total of $388 million to settle a civil class action suit brought against them by the U.S. Department of Justice over LCD price fixing. Japans's largest LCD manufacturer—Sharp—will pay the largest penalty, $105 million. Samsung will pay $72 million, with Taiwan's CMI paying up $78 million and South Korea's LG paying $75 million.
