Slack LCD TV Market Means Cheaper Phones And Monitors
Shakrai writes "CNN and Business2 are running a story about the apparent failure of LCD TVs to make a major market impact and what it means for you. Specifically for us geeks it means cheaper cellular phones and laptops due to an oversupply of LCD manufacturing. Does this mean I can finally afford that 21" LCD monitor I've always wanted?"

Hmmm, oversupply of lcd manuf due to lack of interest in lcd tv's? Sounds like it means that cell phones with 15" lcd's will be on the market soon. Now you can really see how crappy your cell phone camera is.
Wouldn't a phone with a 21" display be a bit cumbersome?
On the other hand...
"What's that in your pocket?"
"Twenty-one inches of pure happiness! Want to see it?"
Well, you don't have to do it all at once. Take a ten dollar note, drop it on the monitor. Then pick it up and drop it again. After 100 times dropping the 10 dollar note, you've dropped $1000 on your monitor.
However, CRTs are much better suited for this, since they are not so easy to miss on dropping.
I'd recommend against dropping coins, because if they fall into the monitor, they might cause a short circuit. But then, if they can actually fall into the monitor depends on the monitor and the coins.

Right, because individuals just LOVE to lose it.
