Apple sees no future for CRTs

Macworld - By Ben Ames, IDG News Service
Apple’s move is typical of an industry-wide move from CRTs to LCDs.

Five years ago, flat panel displays were the smallest segment of the market for desktop monitors; today they have overtaken CRTs, said Tim Bajarin, an analyst with Creative Strategies.

“Absolutely, you can get more screen for your money with CRTs. They are relatively dirt cheap, but they are fundamentally becoming dinosaurs,” Bajarin said.
