Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be
CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 2 days agoThose TVs were in a lot of middle class homes. I think huge is pretty exaggerated. Having a house on the block with those 4 person 40-50 in TV’s was pretty common in a lot of areas IMO.

They weren’t huge at all. They were huge for that day.
Sure there was 40+ inch tvs if you were willing to shell out 10k plus.

Not even close. We’re talking about $1000-$3000. You could regularly find used for $400-$500 if you could find a team to lug them out.

Not that expensive at all.
In the 90s you could get a 40in for maybe like $500.

$500 in the 90s would be equivalent to around $1000 today. That’s a very expensive TV and more than I’ve spent on displays in total across my adult life (which includes some nice IPS computer displays)

I have a 75 in lg c1 in my theater and gaming room. Plenty of folks buy nicer displays. There are plenty of high end displays selling in volumes to support a very healthy display market…
