The speed of how technology developed in the last 7 years is scary. 2000's electronics look like cheap toys in comparison.

This stuff used to be crazy expensive. Then it became commonplace, and now it's all completely obsolete.

"Internet appliance" Was this a machine dedicated to just running a web browser?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Basically. Fine for web usage, useless for anything else. Those things were obsolete the second they were made.

CRT's were expensive to make and heavy. Not only are LCD's cheaper to make, they're cheaper to ship.

Tv's are still expensive for the best ones! Think of it like a PC. People pay top dollar for a PC, they use it all day. Just like the TV.

Seriously, $2700 American for a 61"? I just got a 65" 4K for $1000 Canadian.

These days you pay quality of the panel & processing rather than just size or pixel density. I paid 995€ for 55", but panel is very good.
