What percent market share do LCD monitors have these days?

[Bennie Matusek]

I was trying to find some studies showing what percent of end users have
CRTs vs LCDs. I've spent a couple of hours searching Google and Yahoo! for
some studies, but I only find old stats. Does anyone know of some recent
numbers? Thanks in advance for any info.

I can't give you good numbers on the installed base, but in]
terms of current shipments the LCD is well over 50% now,
headed for 70%. The CRT is likely to hang on as a minority
share of the market for quite some time, though.

It'll be a little different whether you're looking for installed base
vs. new purchases. In terms of new purchases, LCDs have it all over CRTs
these days. In terms of installed base, there are a lot of pre-existing
CRT monitors that still working and usually remain static while the rest
of the computer systems they attach to are upgraded.

The installed base IS hard to judge, but in terms of new monitor sales
LCDs are rapidly headed toward a 70% share and show no signs
of slowing down any time soon. This is for the desktop monitor market
only; TV is a different story, with CRTs still accounting for the lion's
share of products shipped at under 40" diagonal (which is about the
maximum possible with a direct-view CRT.

Some reporting on that lately (UK, note):
CRT minotaurs die from slow and cruel death
<http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27234>
"Right now, CRTs account for 84 per cent of all TVs.
LCDs' share of the market is 6.7 per cent. Even by
2009, CRTs will still account for 57 per cent of all TVs."

I've just got a 19" Dell value lcd flatscreen with my new PC at home.
I can't believe how much nicer it is to use than the 19" CRT I used to use. The only problem now, is with the CRT monitors I still
have to use at work (
