Sony to Stop Producing Smaller CRTs

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.

    MICHAEL! The most despised Slashdot editor! You are a goddamn, motherfucking, shit-snorting, baby-raping, piece of ass hypocrite! I want you to fucking commit suicide! Do us all a favor!

    Testing out your new friend-whore Slashkode patch this morning, eh? You want people to befriend you? Then how about you become a good editor for once! You goddamn fucker, the only way you can get your friend list to above zero is to force people on it if they want to comment! You FUCKER! How fucking lame is that? Just admit the fact that you are a rampant homosexual and you want attention! Just come out and admit you'd prefer to suck anonymous cock rather than spend another minute alone dealing with your pathetic existance!

    I'd love to see some random slashbot punch you in what you would call a nutsack because of your faggotry! Holy shit, you fag, can you suck any more? If you could suck cock like you suck on this website, you'd be a homosexual LEGEND! Millions of fags would line up at your doorstep to be vacu-whored by your divine, cock-trained tongue! You'd never have to eat again, what with all that manjizz occupying your stomach! Free "food", the attention you crave, and sexual satisfaction is all within your faggoty grasp, if only you'd just post a story on Fagdot indicating your true preference!

    In conclusion, michael, code slashkode all you want, but we all know what you are really after: Hot, gay, underage, pulse-pounding cocks spewing GNU/jizz down your pro-censorship throat! Quit wanking to pics of Richard Stallman and just come out! We all want you to!!!

    ALSO, COMMIT SUICIDE, YOU GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!

    What a fucking pussy you are you Anonymous gay-ascii porn poster! If you had and balls you would have posted under your slashdot username.

    While slashdot is kinda losing a little quality these days, its damn better than you could do. Besides its free. So quit your bitching.

    Tell your mom to stop cuping your balls and post like a real man. Sack up you baby!

    "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?
