The new ones are cheaper.
They use less juice.
They waste less heat.
The office AC units work easier, saving juice.
The workers get less eye strain, so workers work more comfortably, saving potential comp case $.
They use less space. (admittedly a small amount, but incrementally, in a large office, it adds up.)
The old ones (CRT), like the new ones, could not be fixed when broken, and used up larger cubic footage of landfill. They contained much more toxic chemicals than the flat ones.
