The main reason why we IMHO won't see a LCD iMac is the price. a 15" TFT LCD costs $599. So either Apple should get them at a bargin price, or they'll simply drive the price of the iMac up too much. How can you start selling computers at $799 if the screen alone costs 75% of the total price. That is if Apple wants to stay in the market for computers for the rest of us. I can't afford a $3500 machine. And most ppl can't. So Apple has to choose, between a state of the art product or a decent price

Please take this topic to the 'Flat Screen iMac Continued' thread, where its being discussed already.
