Dude,the industry was shilling LCD way back in 2001
Remember when Windows XP came out and they changed the My Computer Logo from a CRT to a LCD?
There was way too much stock in LCD and they made sure it was going to win no matter what it took
Yeah and why is that? Because people like large flat screens it doesn't matter that much what is shown on the screen as long as it is readable its fine. Old lcd's were total crap drag a window around and the ghosting trail was horrendous the things that were good were the brightness, weight, size and energy consumption. Perfect for middle-aged people who have to type word documents and fill in excel sheets and occasionally play a card game while their boss isn't looking. Even the boss will be happy you can cheap out on a sturdy desks and energy consumption goes down a bit. I think it is pretty sad that lcd became this popular for desktops but I think the majority of the people were pretty happy about it. I dont think it was a bad development for most applications but for gamers, graphic artists and movie lovers it really is and was. And I would have preferred it if they had just continued developing high end crt's or similar technology for this group. Luckily oled is just a few steps away now and most likely it will fix all of the problems although probably 20 years too late.
