Why are televisions the only consumer items that are immune from inflation?

TVs are even immune from the tariff increases too. Are LG and Samsung selling these things at a loss just to sell their ads to you in their bloatware? |

Date: November 10th, 2025 8:57 AM Author: saffron shivering dopamine Replacing a TV every 1-2 years is absurd, its just a static object that just sits there for decades.
A phone is tossed around, dropped, and gets its screen cracked. It is a $1000 rock that becomes useless due to the fallibility of man. Therefore, there is high demand for these 'smartphones' beyond their capability of vomiting ads and spying on you. |

an 8080 cost like $300 bucks in the mid-70s (basically the price of a nice computer today). it's not exclusive to monitors, prices for lots of electronics have fallen continuously |

Date: November 10th, 2025 8:59 AM Author: bateful alpha In a highly competitive market, there’s no room to raise prices and also no margins.
Nintendo raised prices to make the Switch 2 look like a better value despite lack of games PS5 is winning the gen so they raised prices Xbox is like “ 😡 fuck you guys” and is ready to take their ball and go home and raised prices for no reason
TVs are commodities and can’t play games like that imho. |
