Q: Lately, I've been looking for an LCD computer monitor and the cheapest one I found was $220. Why are they still so expensive after they've been out for so long? I remember CRT monitors used to cost only $50-60. Why don't LCDs ever go that low?
A: It is costlier to manufacture them. Think of the millions of pixels in an LCD and how precise you have to make them. CRTS on the other hand comprise only of a few parts such as the cathode ray gun and the monitor housing. Also get an LCD, its slimmer, easier on the eyes, not color reproduction is poor if you get a cheap one.
