SK hynix has warned that the global memory shortage could continue through 2030, driven largely by huge demand from AI data centres, HBM and server memory. For consumers and businesses, this could mean RAM prices remain high and volatile for longer than expected. DDR5 may stay under pressure, while DDR4 could also become more expensive as manufacturers gradually reduce production. SSD pricing may follow a slightly different path, with NAND supply potentially improving earlier than DRAM. In this article, we look at what is driving the shortage, why new factories will take years to make a difference, and what this could mean for RAM, SSD and PC pricing over the next few years.

Discovering a persistent dot on a new monitor can be frustrating. This technical guide explains the structural differences between stuck, bright, and dead pixels, details the international ISO 9241-307 standard, and covers how manufacturers evaluate display defects. Setting up a new display is a key milestone in any workspace or computing configuration. However, because modern panels feature millions of densely packed microscopic components, the manufacturing process occasionally produces minor anomalies. One of the most common—and misunderstood—issues users encounter is the pixel defect. When a display shows a permanently static dot, consumers often assume the panel is automatically classified as a repairable or replaceable hardware failure. In reality, the display industry relies on strict international standards to define what constitutes a true manufacturing defect versus an acceptable structural variance. Understanding the underlying electronics and standard testing classifications is essential for navigating screen performance and consumer expectations.
