Monitor Parts.

Nowadays there's less and less of this type of bulky vacuum tube computer monitors in the market. It looks like it is going off to the landmines forever. The new fashion LCD monitors are here to stay.
What's the difference between these two types of monitors? They do and work the same function. So why the change? The new types of LCD monitors may be slim but the colors cannot match the tube types.
It may take up less space on your desk but the brightness is not as bright as the tube ones.
It may consume less electricity to operate but you wont get a good view from an angle.
All in all, it is still expensive in cost.
Then what about the maintainance, is it low compared to the former?
What if it breaks down, can you get a local technician to get it fixed in an hour or two?
It is considered new technology in the poor countries.
Most people still cannot afford to own one.
No wonder I do still have lots of customers sending in the tube displays for repairs.
I still wonder when they will be completely out of sight.
Then the technicians involved will all have to change their line of work.
