Market pressures

Being in the business when the first flat screens appeared I was not impressed with their picture quality nor their pricing. To my surprise, the sets started moving despite these issues. In analyzing the whys, it became very evident that the sales were due to the pressure from women. They liked the styling which took up very little real estate. Even though early sets were expensive and the quality lower than a CRT they actually preferred the early plasmas for purely aesthetic reasons, often regarding it more as piece of furniture than for any functionality.
