$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.

    This was true in the past as well. As stated, you talk to most middle class Americans and they knew at least one guy hosting a Superbowl party with a big ass TV.

    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 comparatively massive but those of course had their own problems
