I've noticed how cheap TVs are. I was thinking of getting one for like the first time in decades and I got sort of reverse sticker shock at how much screen you can get for so cheap a price.
Hand in hand with that, there's a lot more marketing gobbledy-gook out there trying to upsell schmucks on features that are only marginally better, probably because basic large TVs are so cheap now. So they try hard to get people to upgrade more frequently than needed, or to get features that probably won't make one iota of a difference in the viewing experience, just to sell more units/pricier units.
Yep, our newest TV is about 8 years old and the only thing we would get from this years model is slightly better picture quality.
