Sony is apparantly going to stop producing 17- and 19-inch CRTs, in favor of LCDs. It seems a bit soon to drop CRTs completely, seeing as how LCDs still have less than 30% of the market share.
Sony's decision came as no surprise to those who have closely watched monitor manufacturers slowly shift away from cathode-ray tube (CRT) production to manufacturing LCDs. Sharp, Matsushita, and Hitachi all have pulled out of the CRT tube business, and their display divisions have either purchased tubes from companies like Toshiba or exited the CRT monitor business altogether in favor of LCDs, analysts said. At Sony, production of tubes and CRT displays themselves "pretty much go hand in hand," a company spokesman said.
Sony said its decision was reached for reasons of cost as well as market demand. "We see a trend toward larger size screens in CRTs," said Eddie Taylor, a business planning manager for Sony's display division, in a brief interview. However, even fans of the larger screen sizes are still showing interest in converting over to LCDs, he said.
