Given that it seems about every other year, there's some sort of price fixing scheme that's discovered. Considering the price of LCD/Plasma/Flatscreens have never really come down that much from their original price when they first hit the market, it seems that this kind of news is more of a defacto standard we've come to expect from a capitalist scheme where every company that churns over profits whines about how poor they are. For the record, I'm not really a fan of HP either, considering their business model attempts to lock in consumers with half-assed printers and artifically high priced ink cartridges. As a side note, fining companies that rip off consumers is no way to handle the market in a reasonable, logical manner. If anything, these companies should be forced to pay a class action settlements to anyone who bought their products at artificially high prices. Then again, that might just be rewarding stupidity.
