    Such a great example of the C O N S U M E mindset. Does the TV have the features the person wants? Is it the right size or is taking it home all that matters? Is a deal better than the regular list price for a TV that does what they need?

    Nope, just ‘can I spend money’?

      Also showing that the people who made the ad are out of touch with real people.

      Who can just afford to buy a random TV on a whim with no research?

        Hey, I’ve been on the lookout for a cheap, tiny TV to use as a weather/status board for a long time now.
        If you put a six to seven inch tv in front of me that has 1) display 2) HDMI 3) $50, then there’s a really good chance I’ll buy it right then. After considering if I’m still interested in the project.

            I’m “looking” for 6-12 inches. Something I can hang off to the side without being in the way.
            I see something pop up occasionally but they usually have more than I want, like batteries, and get more expensive than the project is worth.

      What? Are you not interested in the most generic TV with the most basic feature set legally possible, for the measly price of a Ferrari? Heresy!

        Ironically, a generic TV with a basic set of features is expensive because it is not “smart” and cannot have streaming tie-ins, pre-installed “apps”, or ads.

        It is half off the arbitrarily high price at that one particular overpriced store. What a deal!
