Are there any successful LCD PC in the market? What are the reasons for LCD PC not
becoming mainstream PC so far?
The most successful LCD PC in market is Imac G5 from Apple Computer. Although its price is as high as $2,000, it is still always out of stock.
The reasons why LCD PC not becoming mainstream PC in the past time is because its extremely high price, besides, heating problem. Nowadays, the price of LCD PC has a dramatically drop to the comparative range of traditional desktop PC. Besides, the heating problem has been completely solved. These days, it is in the early stage of LCD PC practice and promotion. The big traditional desktop vendors are in the experimental stage of their LCD PCs, the prices of their LCD PCs is still high; the quality of their LCD PCs is gradually improving; the biggest barrier for these traditional desktop vendor to face is their marketing strategy—it is a dilemma for them to choose, either LCD PC or traditional desktop, but no matter what, the competition is between their left hand and their right hand. This situation really hinders the speedy development of LCD PC.

The current processor applied controlling chipset, e.g. motherboard BGA, has a much higher integrating capability. The previous LCD PC can't fulfill low power consumption, small size, compact, its VGA display and audio modular need to have separate and independent cards, but nowadays, with the application of optical storage and semiconductor flash storage technology, the standardization of I/O devices connection modes, LCD PC can reduce a lot in terms of size. Besides, with the maturity of various heating technology and improvement of high efficient power transformation modules, we can adopt low cost traditional desktop CPU proposal, which reduces total cost to a large extent and have traditional heating problem completely solved.
