Hitachi also admits to LCD price fixing, will pay $31m fine



Funding that stimulus package just got ever-so-slightly easier -- Hitachi is the latest company to fess up to LCD price fixing, and as part of its deal with the US Department of Justice, it's paying a $31m fine. The company has specifically admitted to fixing the prices on panels sold to Dell from 2001 to 2004, and while no Hitachi execs are due to join their comrades from LG and Chungwha Picture Tubes just yet, we'd encourage them to book their vacations now, since the DOJ seems like it's staying on the warpath.

You should read the article before posting, they sold panels to Dell. Companies who sell lcd's do not necessarily make their own panels.

Like to add that this was just posted like 7hrs ago.

Anyways I hope they get fully slammed. Be a good message to the others not to do it. Ofcourse its not like alot of the other electronics companies and such shouldnt get the same fines if not more.
I wasn't aware Hitachi made Dell panels. I thought a good amount were made by Samsung. At least several were made by them.

I actually did.

I was just saying that I've never heard of a Hitachi LCD until now.

I'm sure this had something to do with Dell's ridiculously overpriced LCDs.

Ironic and sad, the internet has cause a majority of people to lose the ability to read properly, when the internet should provide higher literacy rates. Price fixing is a norm, those LCD companies were being greedy and stupid and got caught. You'd be surprised how many other companies out there price fix.
