Dell has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in San Fransisco over allegations of price fixing. The companies targeted in the suit are Sharp, Hitachi, Toshiba, Seiko Epson, and HannStar Display. These five companies provide Dell with display panels for its monitors, which in my experience are quite nice. Several of these companies have been accused of price fixing in the past, most recently by Nokia in December 2009. By price fixing, these companies are able to offer the illusion of competition, while they are still able to get the prices they want. Dell is suing for a currently unknown amount of monetary compensation.
