But why is it a cost thing? I got a 55 inch 8k tv for less than 1000 usd years ago, including sales tax and overhead from a physical store. It’s the best monitor I’ve used.

Today, many years later, monitors are still way worse and more expensive! Also you can basically not buy the tv’s anymore either.

The panel factories existed, and the panels were cheap, years ago. They’re just not used anymore (or so it seems).
