Old farts bar talk, who's round is it anyway
I hear yea. But when you consider what a TV cost you back then compared to now (in inflation adjusted money) of comparable size you will see they are made cheap because they are very cheap. A TV (of comparable size) is not longer the major purchasing decision is was way back when. I recall the very first RCA color TVs back in the 50s costing over $1000 at the time.
What cost $1000 in 1954 would cost $8423.01 in 2012.
