I agree with your thoughts, LCD and Plasma will eventually become the norm. Building debugging tools should be easy enough, its already already digital!

They would have to charge mega bucks for each unit sold and we wouldn't have enough time to pay for it before there are no CRT sets left to repair. My thoughts on it anyways.
