It's all over for Evil Edna and her pals - here comes LCD TV

Another day, another milestone for digital. According to DisplaySearch, worldwide shipments of LCD TV’s have overtaken CRT TVs for the fist time with 56 per cent of the TV market being held by LCD compared to 47 per cent by CRT. The LCD slowly moved from our desktop PCs through to our living room and some would say that it is a natural progression.

A big selling factor for the LCD format is its scalability when it comes to size, going from sizes smaller than 20 inches, right the way up to cinematic living room monster sets fit for the most demanding movie addict.

MyTake - It was always going to happen. The LCD format is so versatile; from the TV set you watch while on a long flight, through to your PC/Laptop screen, through to the LCD TV in your living room. All of this (I think) is pushed by the desire to watch and increasing amount of different content – Digital TV, HD TV, HD movies and net-based content. The more diverse the content becomes (and it will) the more we’ll need for a versatile delivery solution
