    TV costs are overcheap anyway. honestly they should be more expensive and built to last longer, but advertising and streaming based revenue streams as well as lack of consumer protection has made it normal to have dirt cheap TVs with abusively short life spans.

        didn’t claim to show quality. 👍

        edit: it also doesn’t show “improvements in manufacturing” it’s literally a cost graph showing changes in cost, i used the graph to substantiate one half of my thesis that costs have gone down.

        the other half of my evidence is that older TVs lasted 10-20 years compared to 5-10 years these days. this is both anecdotal and backed up by market data you can google yourself. 👍

        thanks. 👍
