I see so many flat screens laying on the side of the street. It fukks me up because I remember when they first dropped and how expensive they were. Driving around and seeing 60" flat screens laying outside like nothing is crazy. But the only reason I feel that way is because I remember what was....
When I go to a Walmart or Target and see 60" 4k smart tv's going for $300 my jaw drops every time. No matter how ubiquitous flat screens become I will always see them as luxury items.

I remember paying $1200 for my first 40" flatscreen tv in 2008, and I thought I was getting a bargain at the time

EDIT: I found a struggle picture from back in the day for reference.

Speaker setup took me back to my childhood

$1200 in 2008?


You’re crazy.

I'm pretty sure that's what I paid. a 42" sony tv from that era was $1500, so $1200 for a samsung makes sense.
