I think I hear a whistling noise getting louder and louder as that falling rock picks up speed.

As LCDs get cheaper, CRTs just don't make any sense. Once an LCD costs, say 30% more than a CRT, how many would buy the CRT? Very few, I think. LCDs will likely be cheaper than CRTs in the not too distant future.

 

[allargon]

The space and power requirements are too great for CRT in many parts of the world. In the US, it's more about aesthetics.

Too bad--CRT is leaps and bounds above LCD in PQ.
