Sony to Stop Producing Smaller CRTs

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the forced-obsolescence dept.

NerveGas writes "Sony is apparantly going to stop producing 17- and 19-inch CRTs, in favor of LCDs. It seems a bit soon to drop CRTs completely, seeing as how LCDs still have less than 30% of the market share. Maybe since their patent on Trinitron screens expired, they're not able to command ridiculous margins any more." Smaller CRTs? I've got a couple 19" Sony monitors here, and I've always considered them to be a good size.

    "A pixel can change its color value on average 1000/16 = 62.5 times per second for the fastest LCDs available. For the best as of a couple months ago that rate is roughly 1000/25 = 40 times a second"

    40 or 63.5...which one is it?
