I think one of the main reasons CRTs are going to lose out in the end is that they're a lot heavier. I can move a 40 inch plasma TV by myself, but it takes a crane to move a big CRT because of all the leaded glass. When Scotty's transparent aluminum starts getting used more widely in CRTs, I may change my mind. This is also ignoring the problems of radiation, magnetic fields, heat and higher power consumption. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
