a manufacturer can never produce the same size of model forever, given the presence of competition by others. no doubt, a manufacturer will normally demand for cost down (approx. 5% yearly) in order to keep for price advantage, however, it would be even more cost-effective to produce larger monitor size due to bulk order discounts, better quality in terms of response time, contrast ratio, energy saving, etc.
that's why you don't see anymore 14"/15" monitor in the mkt nw and ppl will not look for that also.
having said this, i tend to agree that 24" will EVENTUALLY replace any smaller size models, like it or not.

Well, he assume its by 2010. In the same context, dont think there will be many people looking into getting themselves 15" LCD now even though they are very popular years ago. Therefore, by a few years time where 24" and above gets cheaper, people will start looking into those model rather than the older, smaller ones..
