It's taken IBM some time to admit there's a problem. The displays - the G51CRT and G51t Touch Screen CRT - were made more than five-and-a-half years ago. The last one was sold in December 1998. The units were manufactured for IBM in Malaysia and China by LiteOn Technology International. LiteOn produced over 700,000 screens for IBM between 1997 and 1999.
