After graphics cards, CPUs, RAM kits, and motherboards the next PC hardware to get a price surge are the monitors. PC builders can’t seem to catch a break these days as KTC now warns monitors are next to be affected by challenging market conditions.
KTC is a major display manufacturer, (a prominent Mini-LED OEM controlling ~17% of the Mini-LED market) and it along with AOC have issued public notices saying that the rising component and raw material costs are forcing them to increase prices across their entire product line.
In an official statement titled “Explanation and Commitment Regarding Product Price Adjustments,” KTC stated that global core component costs have gone up significantly, forcing them to adjust the prices of monitors. They can no longer absorb the price surge, says KTC.
Due to the continued rise in the prices of core components globally, the production cost of monitors has increased significantly, and we can no longer absorb this pressure on our own.
KTC took the uncommon step of explicitly urging prospective buyers to purchase monitors now rather than later, so they can lock in current prices before the new MSRPs take effect. A similar warning was issued by AOC earlier this month to its distributors, stating the company is forced to raise prices across its AGON gaming series lineup.
Unlike previous display price hikes that were driven primarily by panel glass shortages, the current pressure comes from supporting component inflation. Components like driver ICs, microchips, motherboards, and power modules are harder to come by and more expensive.
Another contributor to the current situation is the fact that display panel suppliers are reallocating portions of their production capacity to high-margin automotive and commercial display contracts.
Safe to say, the entire tech industry is in shambles right now thanks to AI.
Just today, we reported that budget GPU prices are about to see a major price hike in the second half of 2026. Meanwhile, RAM is already out of control and even though China’s CXMT might provide some relief, it is still a long way off.

Product of continvoucly morged slop.

Not enough. Needs some \u001b[1m

Didn’t Microsoft insist on TPMs for Win11? Isn’t the whole point of them to hold keys out of system memory?

Incorrect, you need

Then what? What stops the kids downloading and running whatever software they like?

How can this replace “child control” software? The system web browser may well report the age field (or age bracket) to websites without letting the user modify it, but what stops them downloading a browser that does let them modify it? Or modifying the source code and compiling a version to lie about their age?

Yeah this would have a pretty different reaction if it was the US social security number that was required by these laws. OK it’s not verified yet and you’re not required to enter it, but what motivation is there for mandating a field for a personal ID number?

I can’t stand it any longer. It’s the slop!

We still have the Scunthorpe problem in 2026?

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

It’s an optical delay-line memory. Early computer memories were acoustic in some manner.

I can’t imagine that the latency of ‘delay line RAM’ would be acceptable to anyone today. Maybe there’s some clever multiplexing that could improve that but it would surely add more complexity that just making more RAM ICs.

Use Nix. And keep your system config in git.

(That’s not going to help you, just paying my respects.)

Way to go rebranding ‘employment.’

For sure, that’s what I see. I’m just ‘locked in’ with Latex since all my colleagues use it and I’m used to a lot of packages there. At some point I’d like to try Typst out but now is not a good time.
