Samsung said it will be advancing its shipments schedule for Acer's upcoming launch of 16- and 18.4-inch Full HD (FHD) notebooks

Samsung is the only panel maker capable of producing 16-inch FHD panels, with other panel makers likely to begin deliveries in the third quarter of 2008. As Acer has already set the launch schedule of its Aspire Gemstone Blue series for April, Samsung is said to have brought forward its shipments schedule. Acer aims to ship a total of 200,000 Aspire FHD notebooks worldwide in the second quarter, the sources said.

Industry players are positive over Acer's early entrance in the Blu-ray notebook segment, given that rival Dell only plans to ship a small quantity of 16-inch FHD notebooks. However, some are less impressed by the launch pointing out the small display size increase compared to 15.4-inch notebooks.
