People are out there getting scammed into buying the shittest panels available and now the media itself is being compromised because they’re the biggest market.

I sold TVs at best buy now 15 years ago and this was it. It didn't matter if it was 20 dollars more, I'll say at least 70% of the people I talked to would not be interested. It's cheaper? Sign me up. "But for 20 dollars you can have an actual good tv, with like, a good picture and everything". Nope, they'd happily leave with their crap. Please just save for one more month, come back, and buy something worth the money instead of throwing it away on garbage.

What's even worse is sound. I hear so freaking often "they're making the sound terrible" "I have to constantly turn it up and down". 99% of the time when I ask them what they did for sound they say "I just use the TV speakers". Well there's the freaking problem! You're listening on speakers that are slightly better than those you'd find in a tablet. TV makers will make it as cheap as possible, and speakers don't sell TVs. I'm not even saying do something like surround sound, just something that was made with sound in mind like a sound bar, hell even computer speakers are going to be better than the pieces of tissue paper they call speakers in your TV. You go buy any sound device, even a cheap soundbar, and the quality will go up. Again though, people will just complain, say it's horrible, and even when presented with a very reasonable option, they will opt to save a few bucks. Even if it's an investment they'll be sitting in front of for years, nope 20-100 bucks more is not worth it.
