LCD Screen Cost (to Manufacturer) ?

$100 seems reasonable, it’s actually probably less but thats within the ballpark I’m sure.

Theres a resistive 15" touch screen for $320 - so if you follow the / 3 rule then $100 is pretty fair (also remembering that a monitor also has the plastic casing, power supplies, and other materials that add cost).
