The general manager of the Great Wall computer monitor division Zhou Gengshen said, the Great Wall between display and SVA NEC cooperation is from the beginning of the year. "SVA NEC is a latecomer in the industry, the the Great Wall computer will certainly go through certain considerations, so in the last year, the production line is put into production, we did not immediately carry out cooperation."

Zhou Gengshen refused to disclose the details of cooperation with SVA NEC, including product size and price. But the SVA NEC liquid crystal display Co. Ltd. Gaoping acknowledged that because the SVA NEC industry is in the new entrants, currently rely on low-cost strategy.

In fact, between the Great Wall computer display and the old LCD panel supplier Samsung cooperation has reached ten years.
