LCD sales surpass CRT during last part of 2007

I'm not surprised...

I would have thought that they would have hit this milestone a year or two back now here in the UK. The only CRT screens you can pick up now easily are 14" screens.

Meh...i've still got a 32 incher with a tube. :)

So much for those who claim that hardly anyone wants/cares for TVs with 1080p support.

I got a DLP 61" Infocus DLP and a Samsung 61" DLP they both look good. The only problem I have with the Infocus is the lamps is way to high. DLP and LCD looked the same to me but DLP was a little brighter.

This is no surprise at all. Computer monitors are all LCD and it's a minor change to rework the manufacturing process and plants to mill out larger of an existing technology. Would not be the case if we were all using plasma computer monitors. I foresaw this over 4 years ago. Just call me Nostradamus baby, I'm good like that.

This would be expected. Tell me this, when is the last time you walked into any big department store and saw a bunch of CRT's sitten around waiting to be sold? Eh, I haven't seen any in ages. Where exactly can you purchase them? Seems like even Wal-Mart has changed their aim at selling LCD's and RP tv's.

n3v3rD1e, are you going to be good this time or get banned for the 12th time?!!

Good call ddp...i had the same suspicion.

@canuckerz

Yeah...LCD screens on pc monitors play a big part.

Are the electronics giants counting pc lcd monitors as lcd tvs? If so, this may account for the overtake of crts.

until they make all the channel HD without paying extra or huge box i'll love and keep my TUBE tv

This is what is going to happen its the natrual way of things like when CD's came and took over from cassettes etc... LCD and Plasma TV's are the way of the future and over time they become more and more afordable for all to accquire.
