I was saying to myself, "I wonder what kind of home equity loan or mortgage I'd need to be able to afford that!" Then I actually read the article and it's only $6,999.00. Hold on while a shit a check for that amount. 😆
That's the price of their previous model, and the article suggests that this one will be quite a bit more expensive. Definitely not a "projector beater" if you don't have around ten grand burning a hole in your pocket.
Even if I had that kind of cash to part with, it certainly would not be on a TV. It's be doing a major overhaul on my home computer lab.
I bought an Acer projector and a ceiling mounted pull down screen fifteen years ago for ~700€ and that gear is still going strong.
Why in the world would I want to spend ten times that?
I mean that’s a crazy amount to pay for a TV imo, but I was 100% expecting it to be a lot crazier.
I remember a magazine ad from when modern flat screen LCD/plasma TVs came out and they were like $15,999 for a 55," something you could get at Costco now for $200. This probably will never see price reductions like that but still.
