Price of monitors
What is up with the price of monitors? Just a few years ago I could get a 17 inch for a little over $100. 4 years ago my wife and I caught a 17 inch on sale at office depot for $125. Now, a 19 inch is almost $200.
Even with inflation at 3% per year, a 17 inch monitor, should only be 130 - 140. Also taking into consideration that companies use off shore cheap labor, monitors should cost like $50. So what has the price of monitors up? |

I have a 15" CRT that was manufactured probably in the late 80s and loves to give me eye cancer. I picked this treasure up at goodwill for $3.50!

Well, with the mass production of LCD TV's, the steady decline in LCD monitor price has halted. With higher demand of LCD components, prices have begun to rise. Simple economics!

You're gonna put a CRT in your DJ case?
Have you lost your mind?
