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

That shit better all be y2k compliant.

Bar Trivia facts for the day: Circuit city created Car Max as divestiture to keep itself alive and still has a college fund that pays out
choloeseguay

TiVo and DirecTV are basically exactly the same.

Remember back when they fired all their best employees because they got paid too much?
ibrokemyselflmao
Home Depot did it around the same time as well
SuperJere
Yeah, that didn’t work out too well!

Tv was a big purchase back in the day. I paid $2000 for a 48" big screen early 2000s
Last1toKnow
This stuff used to be crazy expensive. Then it became commonplace, and now it's all completely obsolete.

Now 5 cd was the kicker for me.

WellWellWellLookWhoItIs

crunchychew

I fucking loved my minidisc
batmow
"Internet appliance" Was this a machine dedicated to just running a web browser?
kaymon
Basically. Fine for web usage, useless for anything else. Those things were obsolete the second they were made.
waterskimaniac
Oh my gosh TVs used to be SO expensive
lurklurkingmclurk
Circuit city also used to overprice items.
itsmellslikefish
This is also at the highest peak of the dot com boom, before the economy collapsed for the first time in the 2000s

CRT's were expensive to make and heavy. Not only are LCD's cheaper to make, they're cheaper to ship.
pitajr
I bought a 50 inch DLP for 2000 when I was 16, 12 years ago. But my basement became the coolest place to play James Bond split screen
IIIHalezIII
and digital too!
AltRightGoy
Those damn gready Vietnamese!
zenoshogun
Nah that's the weight not the price.
kraquepype
Still making payments on them

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.
trdfrgsn
And most are tube TVs. The big ones are rear projection.
jayol
Yeah those rear projection tvs were always way too dear for your average joe, I only seen them in pubs and pretty roch people’s places
WhatAboutReefer
I'd like to give you a rear projection
jayol
Lol nice
cooplander
Seriously, $2700 American for a 61"? I just got a 65" 4K for $1000 Canadian.
lronMaiden
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.
FFEVENG
If you factor in inflation it's almost $4000 USD
CraftedLine
Way back in the early 90s a big screen could cost $5,000-$10,000USD!
bpetersen
My 55" LED, 3D TV is now like $500
JesusMaximus
It also didn't weigh as much as heavy weight boxer.
