Indium, I found out about it a few weeks ago.
Indium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiki quote{ Demand has risen rapidly in recent years with the popularity of LCD computer monitors and television sets, which now account for 50% of indium consumption.[32]
Increased manufacturing efficiency and recycling (especially in Japan) maintain a balance between demand and supply. According to the UNEP, indium's end-of-life recycling rate is less than 1%.[33]
Demand increased as the metal is used in LCDs and televisions, and supply decreased when a number of Chinese mining concerns stopped extracting indium from their zinc tailings. In 2002, the price was US$94 per kilogram.
The recent changes in demand and supply have resulted in high and fluctuating prices of indium, which from 2006 to 2009 ranged from US$382/kg to US$918/kg.
It has been estimated that there is less than 20 years left of Indium supplies, based on current rates of extraction, demonstrating the need for additional recycling } end quote
Hell, 900% price increase in less than 7 years......
The polarising screens are fun to play with too.

Well im definitely not throwing any away if the material cost has gone up 900% in the last 7 years. Its just a matter of time till a bounty gets put on lcd's.
What is the recovery process like? Is it even feasible to recovery Indium from the screens? Still a big gamble to hold on to, considering all it takes is the manufactures figuring out how to make the screens without the Indium. I'd sell to anyone willing to buy at this point if it were me.
