Does this mean LCD displays are going to get a lot cheaper? That would be nice.

LCD panels are already dirt cheap. Eg look at prices from wholesalers on panelook

I bought a 42 inch TV for just under $300 AUD a few weeks back. I would suspect the panel isn't even the most expensive part any more on a TV, logistics for that thing have to be one of the biggest parts nowadays.

How hard is it to get an LCD panel professionally cut with holes in it?

Holes where? I'm pretty sure cutting into the display area will break all the rows or columns that hit each hole

I'm pretty sure there have been LCD smartphones with a camera hole.

E.g. from 2019:

> Alongside the new OLED announcements, CSOT also demonstrated a new LCD model with a front-camera hole-punch design. Here the company just wanted to demonstrate their ability to employ the technology which will be in high demand this year.
