TL;DR: We all know this season s big tech releases are almost impossible to find outside of eBay, but could monitors and other displays soon face similar problems? It s possible, and at the very least, we might see price hikes following an earthquake in Taiwan and a power outage in Japan that interrupted production.
As reported by Tom s Hardware, an earthquake that hit Taiwan last week impacted the production of leading LCD panel maker AU Optronics (AUO). Company chairman Paul Peng said (via DigiTimes) that it took at least a few hours to get the lines restarted, resulting in some output loss though he never said how much.

Industry leaders attending the Taipei Computer Association’s (TCA, 台北市電腦公會) annual meeting yesterday said that they expect Taiwanese tech companies to see “continued demand” in the next three to six months.
Pegatron Corp (和碩) chairman and TCA honorary chairman Tung Tzu-hsien (童子賢) said there was “no need to worry” about fluctuating orders for the next three to six months.
“Overall, supply is outstripping demand,” Tung said. “Orders are piling up for many companies due to the work-from-home and distance-learning trends.”
