Large Display Industry Snapshot April 2010

This week we published the April issue of Large Display Report (LDR) that documents the display industry news and activities for monitor-sized and larger displays, components and finished products. LDR goes beyond the headlines digging deep into news events -- offering “the why” behind the news with new technologies and companies you don't normally hear about in mainstream media. And, we seek to uncover new information that you won't find anywhere else.

Of particular interest this month is a new ruling from EnergyStar that will change the way products are labeled and tested -- all because Congress found out it was easy to scam the EnergyStar voluntary rating system.

There is also good coverage of ShoWest and CeBIT -- some very interesting materials research news, and lots of info on 3D.
