I'm not a hardware guy, but at work we have no news so to keep busy I read
all sorts of stuff, like Eletronic Design mags. The latest issue had a one
pager on high speed OpAmps, not knowing what one was I read it. Apparently
they are used in most monitors, but because the fast ones are so costly the
bigger monitors settle for more slower speed OpAmps. It went on to say that
a few places are about to release low-cost high-speed OpAmps. This will
either lower the cost of large monitors, or increse someone's profits...
