A bargain at only $2200USD
- buildbot 4y agoFor a true commercial grade product with an actual 10bit panel? It kinda is? Plus it won’t spy on you
- pandemicsyn 4y agoIts not like it doesn't have cons: - 60Hz refresh rate - 8,000:1 contrast ratio with local dimming on - 500 cd/m2 brightness and "HDR compatibilty" - 86% DCI coverage
- preisschild 4y agoFor that price you can get a 77in OLED tv from LG and a raspberry which you can use for Bigscreen. Might be better if your main use isn't prone to burn-in (e.g. by displaying the same UI elements over months).

- Lammy 4y agoRelevant: "There's a simple reason your new smart TV was so affordable: It's collecting and selling your data, and serving you ads" (2019) https://www.businessinsider.com/smart-tv-data-collection-advertising-2019-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/smart-tv-data-collection-adv...
- Dylan16807 4y agoThe headline is not true. > Without that revenue stream, Baxter said, consumers would be paying more up front. "We'd collect a little bit more margin at retail to offset it," he said. A little bit. The value of that tracking is worth a lot to a company making near-zero margins, but it's not a very big impact on the full price.
- kuschku 4y agoTCL said they're now making more money with tracking than with sold TVs. Just as comparison.
- Dylan16807 4y agoBut still somewhere in the single digit percent, I think. The march of technology is responsible for almost all of the cheapness of TVs, and niche commercial targeting is responsible for the non-cheapness of other TVs. Hisense has a $430 TV comparable to that $2200 model but with better color. Tracking, I dunno, might be $50.
