Now, I know cost and weight were the main factors on the CRT -> LCD transition, but on retrospect it seems a bit mind boggling people took at face value that those 768p LCDs you can't even look sideways, with fixed resolutions and framerates, were the next big thing. |
I think the main driver was screen size. CRT was limited to 36 inches (or so) while when LCD first launched 42+ inches were common. Screen size, IMHO, drove adoption of LCD over CRT.
