Not that expensive at all.
In the 90s you could get a 40in for maybe like $500.

Sure there was 40+ inch tvs if you were willing to shell out 10k plus.

$500 in the 90s would be equivalent to around $1000 today. That’s a very expensive TV and more than I’ve spent on displays in total across my adult life (which includes some nice IPS computer displays)

I have a 75 in lg c1 in my theater and gaming room. Plenty of folks buy nicer displays. There are plenty of high end displays selling in volumes to support a very healthy display market…

I think it’s more a question of individual values in where to spend money. From my memory as a kid in the 90s I did not see very many TVs bigger than 30" in family’s homes. I did see a couple of projection screens that were massive but those of course had their own problems

Not even close. We’re talking about $1000-$3000. You could regularly find used for $400-$500 if you could find a team to lug them out.
