CRTs are too big and heavy. People want sleek, thin and light. Who cares about viewing angles and color accuracy?
Wouldn't be surprised if 5 years from now, 27" LCD's will be viewed as equally obsolete, as everyone is busy fondling their 7" tablets. The desktop computer is dying - the move from CRTs to LCD's was just the beginning of a long, painful decline.
I care about viewing angles and color accuracy and some on this site do.
You are correct though, average best buy shopper doesn't know the difference between a LCD/LED, IPS/TN/MVA etc etc
Desktop machine will be kept around for power.
You will never be able to cram sli or 32GB's of ram into a laptop currently. Also if you run a business at home that requires a powerful machine you will be using a desktop.
We will are seeing a shift now as mobile devices get more powerful but space and heat restriction will make sure a desktop will be around in the future.
