Exactly 10 years ago, I visited a friend of mine who used to manage a popular radio station in Ortigas, Pasig City and in his office was a newly bought computer LCD monitor that he proudly showed off to me. It was a 12î screen flat panel video monitor made by Sony, and believe it or not, it cost the radio station P99,000 to buy one. Thatís a whopping P8,250 per inch! And yes, that was expensive.
Of course, itís much different nowadays. LCD are not only standard computer desktop hardware, but is also becoming ubiquitous as a television display monitor as well. Thanks to its popularity, LCD prices have gone down tremendously.
