I imagine he&#x27;s referring to 13-21&quot; screens, where the price has stagnated in the past, say, 5 years, especially relative to higher-end displays. Case in point: you can now get a $5 Raspi Zero, which is more powerful than my laptop from seven years ago, which cost $700. That&#x27;s an absolutely insane, and amazing, reduction in price. But any meaningful display for it will cost you around $90-$120, which is roughly how much it cost seven years ago.<p>As much as I appreciate the stupid and pointless race towards insane resolutions for how it benefits VR, I too wish we had some progress making &quot;normal&quot;, 1920x1080 20&quot; (or 13&quot; 1600x900) displays for cheap.<p>People talk about &quot;Raspi Zero, the $5 computer&quot; but for six billion people in the world who don&#x27;t have a computer, a computer is a device with a screen. When <i>that</i> whole shebang becomes $5, having a computer suddenly becomes a choice for everyone, not a privilege for the upper 15% of society. And right now, the thing that&#x27;s holding us back from that dream is only the display.<p>A $5 Raspi, which consumes 0.6W at most, can be powered for 18 hours with a battery that costs $2 in bulk. A SD card in bulk might be an extra $3 and a Wifi dongle can be had for $2 in bulk. That&#x27;s a $12 laptop. Add a display, and your $12 laptop becomes $100. The lack of progress in displays is criminal.
