LCD price fixing

In 2002 I purchased a couple LCD monitors with 1024x768 resolution.

TEN YEARS LATER most laptops on shelves have about the same resolution. WTF happened? In a world where computers are supposed to double in capability every 18 months, LCD manufacturers formed a cartel to fix prices and relax production. For years PC manufacturers have just been churning out computers with the same old stagnant display technology.

Kudos to Apple for actually trying to improve technology.

(OMG two posts about Apple in a row? What's wrong with me...)
