Thank you for your ancedote. I think OP is emphasizing that no, most people would give a shit because most people can't spend 1k on a panel.
And yet TVs were sold for that price or more accounting for inflation for decades, and indeed most people bought them.
My Sony cost well over 1k, yet it came with crapware and got more enshittified as time went on.
Some people spend well over 1k on smart TVs.
