A great amount of effort is being expended to increase the size and decrease the cost of flat-panel displays, because the potential market for them is clearly substantial.
In the last three months, the cost of flat-panel HDTV sets has dropped 12percentt on average, said Tamaryn Pratt, the principal owner of Quixel Research of Portland, Ore.
By the late 1990s the cost of flat-panel screens was plummeting.

The probable result is a record-beating score after 72 holes will be avoided, but this was a mealy-mouthed victory, one that came at the cost of a flat day of golf.
But it would make every other day more difficult, as the exorbitant cost of the flat tax would likely be paid by cutting Medicare, Social Security and other bedrock government services.
The opportunity that InFocus saw in the professional space was that many times companies where turned off by the high cost of signage flat panels and couldn't justify their high price even though the screens are practically indestructible.
