Well mang, on the LCD terminology thing you are wrong. Those cell phone, and calculator screens are LCD's. LCD refers to the underlying technology that makes them work. Those displays you don't want to call LCD's are just very low resolution LCD with few, large elements. Your definition of LCD screens: "LCD screens are those liquid-dy screens that you can depress with your fingers and it flows like liquid," isn't a "proper" definition, it just describes one of many types of LCD screens.

The small, low resolution LCD's are a lot cheaper than the big, high resolution ones for a lot of reasons. I think they generally come from different niche suppliers too. You are right, though, that they are very different things with very different supply/demand/cost structures. But they are all LCD's.

FWIW...Alski
