Apple Will Sell Only LCD Monitors

  • Summary: No more bulky CRT monitors for Apple (AAPL) -- the company introduced a $899 iMac with LCD monitor for schools and students, replacing its last cathode ray tube-based model. Apple was a pioneer (surprise) in the LCD sphere, introducing the thinner screens as standard to most of its computer lines back in 2001.
