> You may want that but you won't like its unsubsidised price.

I promise you I won't give a shit about the unsubsidized price.

Thank you for your ancedote. I think OP is emphasizing that no, most people would give a shit because most people can't spend 1k on a panel.

Some people spend well over 1k on smart TVs.

Right but not most people as I said.

My Sony cost well over 1k, yet it came with crapware and got more enshittified as time went on.

And yet TVs were sold for that price or more accounting for inflation for decades, and indeed most people bought them.

But now we have a lower price anchor so people won't pay that much for them

Neither did I, so I bought an U5226KW for $3000, when a similar sized TV was only $700.
