Same thing for 100 inch models now. Maybe it’ll flatten out in a few years.
Comment on Price Per Square Inch for TVs by size
bus_factor@lemmy.world 4 days ago
There’s not much point in optimizing completely for price per inch, but when I bought my TV in 2013 I plotted this, and discovered a pretty sharp hockey stick in the graph at 70" and above. So I got a 65" TV. If my graph had looked pretty straight like yours I’d probably just get the biggest that is practical for the space.

yeah you’d have to get a rear projection DLP to get a bargain at that screen size back then. around 2010 i picked up a 73" DLP for less than a grand at coatco, but i used some lucky discounts, or it would’ve been 1100 or so on sale.
most people don’t like those bulky TVs though, even back then. or even have room for them.

I followed a roughly similar process but the flow was more like, “Here’s a 65-inch TV on sale, let’s bump up our 48.”

My SO wants a bigger screen, and I was thinking of a 65", but maybe I’ll consider a 75" instead since it seems like a sweet spot for value.
