    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 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.

          This was true in the past as well. As stated, you talk to most middle class Americans and they knew at least one guy hosting a Superbowl party with a big ass TV.
