Thats unlikely to be true. Computer screens if comparable sizes (the ones that exist) have dipped in price in the same way, despite having no ads or apps or anything.
The prices are down because of process improvements and competition. Ads can make a $10-30 difference in final price.
- stevewodil 6y agoDo you have a source for ads accounting for $10-30 of the final price? I'd be curious to learn more about this.
- beagle3 6y agoI don't off hand, that's what I remember from past reading. However, for comparison, Facebook - one of the two undisputed masters (and essentially only players) of online advertising makes < $30/person/year [0], so to assume that Samsung is (a) making $30 on ads over three years (standard depreciation period), and (b) giving all of that back in the TV cost to the buyer seems like a generous overestimate. (Yes, you can insert whatever fudge factor you want, but I think the order is right, and I remember reading it in some article). It's possible ACR is worth more to them than ads -- becoming a new Nielsen; but I would be very surprised.
