The Death of the CRT – Part 2
A while ago I published a post relating to the death of the CRT. It was written in reaction to Apple Computer discontinuing their last CRT system. You can read the post here, http://tt4sb.wordpress.com/2006/07/19/the-death-of-the-crt/.
I’ve just read a report talking about the sales of LCD televisions. In the second quarter of 2006 LCD TVs accounted for 22 percent of the total TV market. This is up from 17 percent in the first quarter.
The report can be found at http://www.displaysearch.com/press/?id=860.
The CRT may not be dead, but looking at these figures it sure does seem as if they are slowly dieing. I imagine that some of this is are because of human nature to jump onto a bandwagon. And another may be due to space and energy requirements. I’m just not sure whether I’m totally convinced to jump that way. I just replaced my 20 year old TV with a new CRT model. I’m not sure any of the LCD sets or Plasma will last anywhere near that long. Guess we will just have to wait and see.
