Was talking to a colleague today associated with computer parts distribution, he mentioned that he has heard rumours of a "proposed ban on sales of LCD / Plasma type monitors" for "environmental" (energy saving) reasons, instead presumably "mandating CRT type technology due to it being more efficient ?"
First thought was that it is ridiculous and a bit of a joke - but then again I admit to thinking similarly about the recent ban on iron-core transformer plugpacks and incandescant lighting (both of which turned out to be true, and both were hotly debated on this forum).
Have no idea which government body is proposing it or if its even true. In any case - I think its too late as these displays have firmly entrenched themselves into the market in PC and TV.
Anyone here has any info on it ?
