Interesting. Apple has made its entire line of monitors LCDs exceptthe iMac, and now they're offering Sony and Mitsubshi CRTs. Strange business indeed. Why bother with the decisive move to LCDs at all, is what I wonder. I haven;t checked out other product lines because there aren't any. No more cube.

Apple displays have been all LCD for a while now, and iMacs are next.

This belongs in the Peripherals forum BTW. Transferring thread there.

Apple thinks CRT's are dead and they no longer want to spend money on R&D, shipping a tech for them so canned them.

LCD's cost more and have less acurate colour acuracy for very high end press. The reason Apple sells 3rd party CRT's is that some companies demand them and they are cheaper. Apple does not want to lose money on a G4 sale because of a monitor.
