Why isn't a 480p TV $500, a 720p $800, a 1080p $1200, and a 4K $2400? While I pulled those numbers out of my ASCII, it is an example of price point. Those that can't afford a 4K TV wouldn't be able to get one.
Build them to last like we used to, and that would also keep repair shops in business once they did fail, because the suppliers could supply parts or at least boards, and everyone makes money. |
People usualy like to show off. While certainly not everyone can afford a mansion in Hollywood nor running a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce, but with some sparing almost anyone can buy the latest (and greatest) iphone or Samsung phone, or for that matter a 4K TV, and then you have something to talk about with friends... |
But that's just a sad statement on today's society, isn't it?

Yeah! When I was a kid “they” promised us that by the year 2000 we’d at least have levitating cars that would do away with the burden of friction caused by wheels. What is up? Now we’re 21 years behind schedule and I still have to sit in traffic instead of flying downy

I've just heard the other day that Samsung have new TVs with "microled" technology in up to 110" size for mere 150 000 USD.
