LCDs Smackdown of CRTs
For the first time, LCD monitors will
out-sell bulky CRTs in 2004. I recently switched from a Sony 19" CRT Trinitron to a
Dell 2001FP LCD 20" monitor. There is no looking back, gaming at 1600X1200 and the totally flat display is pure heaven.
For the first time, global shipments of liquid crystal displays in 2004 will surpass those of cathode ray tube (CRT) units, market research firm IDC said Thursday. The driving force behind the switchover: a surplus of LCD units from Asian gear makers.
The demand for LCD monitors is going up as manufacturers of desktops, notebooks and television sets make the switch from the venerable CRT design. According to an earlier study by iSuppli, worldwide revenue for LCD panels is expected to reach $47 billion in 2004, up 32 percent from last year.
