I'm forwarding this along in case some of you are not subscribed to the visionlist.

Subject: [visionlist] CRT Monitors
To the Vision Community:
I am concerned about the possible demise of CRT monitors. I am a Vision Scientist and also have a small company. Among other things, we sell a very small number of customized monochrome monitors that have high refresh rates (up to 240 Hz at 800x600 pixel resolution) with customized fast phosphor tubes. I have not heard anything directly from our tube supplier about going out of business, but I am concerned. I have heard from our monitor manufacturer that they have a limited number of parts on hand for the monitors and may not order more, as the demand for CRT monitors is obviously waning.
I am in the midst of making arrangement for about ten more monitors to be built over the next few months, but am concerned that these may be the last ones ever built.
My purposes for writing this email are two-fold:
1. I need to hear from scientists as to whether there is a demand that would justify building more monitors (assuming it is possible even now) (djs@xxxxxxx).
2. I would like to start a discussion within the Vision Community about the general problem--not just for monochrome monitors but for color CRT monitors as well. I have no specific information on them, but do know that the number of new models appearing is dwindling dramatically while older models are being discontinued. Do other people have more specific information about CRT monitors? Does anyone know of viable alternatives to CRT monitors?
