Technology changes, besides its a little hard to recycle CRT monitors. Sure you can always throw it in the dumpster, but to recycle a CRT you will have to pay the recyclers money to get rid of it.
I have one of those beastly 50 pound Sony Trinitron monitors that take up 50% of my desk space. I guess no one will have the chance to enjoy it like I do. [/sarcasm]
I just hope its after I save enough for one of those 50" XBR2 LCD HDTV screens. Those things are SEXY!BTW, since they are dropping the LCD monitor line, does this mean they will start outsourcing the manufacture of their laptop LCDs?
Sony monitors suck anyways. High priced just because of the name. That's a pretty arrogant way to market goods.I couldn't stand Sony CRT's because of those 2 stupid lines caused by the aperature grille hold up wires. Viewsonic got me into Panasonic's piture tubes. Panasonic made the BEST tubes in the industry. I was the biggest fan of Viewsonic, until they swapped out the Panasonic tubes they were using in their CRT monitors for the cheaper and cheesier Trinitron tubes.Viewsonic P815-1M 21" (1st generation) is the best CRT monitor ever made!!!

Honestly, as much as I hate sony, Trinitrons were some of the best.Never had their LCD's though, so I can't say anything about those.

This is just like the Xbox 360 v1.0 that Microsoft abandoned.
