Re: [Digital BW] Re: CRTs not being made, what LCD for future?

Again you assume price is static.  If the demand for CRTs falls they may
cost, say, $1000 (because only the high end specialist ones are then made
for niche players) whereas LCDs could be $100 because they are the
predominant component sought and produced (numbers for illustrative purposes
only).  What would the billions of people buy then - after they have bought
their cheap DIGITAL cameras.... ;-)
