They jumped the gun a few months ~ maybe as much as a year.

High ticket television sets are rapidly turning into ordinary consumer products with much lower prices.

I recall that a 26 inch TV 50 years ago cost over $300. With a remote that might jump to $350. An equivalent cost today would be about $4,000.

That was a serious purchase in its time ~ $400 for a far larger thin screen projection TV is not so serious now.

A DMD device should cost less than $100 given its lack of complexity BTW.

I remember those days well. Our first color TV was and RCA 25” console with a remote bought in 1966 for $250...... 1/2 months average pay then.
