Would you spend 1000k on a television or any other electronic device for the home?

If I had the money of course. The one thing I live is on tech so it would be well worth investing into making all that perfect.
If I didn't use my £1000 Laptop 24/7 I wouldn't buy one but I do, shame it broke and I could only get this cheap one. But I bought a steam deck instead this time hoping it's better. Tbf no tech is built to last so 4 years wasn't bad.

I would never buy a Lambo or expensive car even as a billionaire because that I just simply wouldn't use but things I will use everyday or at least use a lot when I can for sure will.

[WindAtMyBack]

Did you mean to use three zeroes? That's a million dollars.

I have known serious audiophiles who spend 100K or more. But a couple of grand is my limit. Even that much is unlikely since you start getting diminishing returns with a quarter that much for audio.

Televisions have gotten ridiculous. Everyone wants these huge wall size TVs. I don't have a TV at all, so I spend zero on televisions.

[thegreenyogi]

Same here.

@thegreenyogi

Just before last Christmas my wonderful extravagant husband decided we needed a new "cinema size" television for the lounge... Spending £2350 in doing so... Boys and their toys!

[thegreenyogi]

Indeed I totally agree!!

[EmmaMary]

@thegreenyogi

Mind you, I did get my new car last September so I really couldn't go saying too much. lol

[EmmaMary]

Gosh... Thank you so much @thegreenyogi for the MHO. x

[thegreenyogi]

@EmmaMary You're very welcome!

[D_Bonez_nutt]

I spent $500 on a PS5, it shut down like the day after the warranty expired, I paid another $200 for aftermarket repair... I'm just $300 away from that with just that one item.

I just want to play Diablo damn it!

[petitedollbabee]

I think my TV was around $900. But in usd that’s like $500.

[82lynx]

That depends...

If it were an uncommon model of a top-of-the-line set old enough to be equipped with a delta gun CRT, perhaps even with a tube hybrid chassis and in a style I really like, and with a big stash of spare parts, especially NOS CRTs I could use to refurbish other sets, then yes. If it were a Zenith I would want one with the ultramatic tuner; the transition from VHF to UHF and advancing through the UHF presets by a fully mechanical remote is electromechanical ear and eye candy for me. I have some low-power broadcast modulators so I could make it pick up anything I want on any one of those presets.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

One day I'm going to get a TV for my place that is top of the line. But that's closer to 4k

In my opinion, most tv's in that price range are not really worth it so I get $300 or $600 models from Visio. Their tvs priced less than $1200 are objectively the best in my opinion

[itsclearlynicholas]

I bought my cheap humble TV on sale for about 300-400 dollars. I like how it's beautiful Chinese quality 😄 brand name Hisense, not Panasonic however I remember the days when the Japanese

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@itsclearlynicholas Visio definitely falls under shady since it's owned by Microsoft 😂

Sony is still at the top of the game if we're talking strictly tvs that cost 2k and up. Followed closely by Samsung.

[itsclearlynicholas]

What ever happened to Panasonic 😴

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@itsclearlynicholas Panasonic slowly fell off. Their tube tv's were amung the best, early pioneers of lcd technology but my read is they had a hard time investing enough money to keep their R&D competitive.

They're just having a hard time being competitive in general. They had a cinema camera that was so close to being one of the best and a lot of pretty silly things stopped it from hitting the mark. Maybe it's a leadership issue.

They still have nice screens but they're not very competitive in the consumer market.

[itsclearlynicholas]

And Hisense Chinese? Even the cheapest sets? I love my 2022 flat screen about 42 inch I had been expecting 32 inch hahaha 😂

[itsclearlynicholas]

How times change television 📺

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@itsclearlynicholas lol maybe the really cheap ones that still have roku built in 😂

They make their screens really bright to make you not notice the lower quality. The software on the TV is far from the worst.

I don't like shitting on them too much because I know I'm bias so I'll say there's not much wrong with them other than in my experience, they're hard to see clearly from across the room

[Telekinetic-Potato]

And they have bad colors, and they perform badly with dark scenes and they fake their hdr more than the other brands

[MrOracle]

My TV and my AV receiver costed me (at cost) around $2000 each (closer to $4000 retail), so, yes. But that's literally the business that I'm in, so it would be like a race car driver spending a lot of money on a race car, or a cook spending a lot of money on cookware.

[Chazmatazz269]

1000k = 1,000,000
1M what? Dollars? Not likely. Maybe if i had billions and the TV intravenously injected high quality hallucinogens into my body so that i could live everything i was watching. Ell oh ell!

[TheSpaceGnome]

Do you mean 1,000 or 1,000,000?

If a thousand, on a tv? No, On some other device? Yes.
If a million, no.

[thegreenyogi]

I meant 1,000.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'd pay several grand for a gaming machine, for a tv i'd pay about 250 max.

[FreyaRed]

I think my OLED was 1500 in USD. I have 2,5m high huge windows in my fireplace room where the TV stands and TV has to be bright to see something at sunny day, or I have to put blinds down

[jennifer_bloom]

I only enjoy the high end movies you have to pay extra to watch and being frugal, I don’t buy them.

[FunkyMonkee]

The only thing I paid a grand for is a 10" open reel tape recorder that plays and records in both directions.

[genericname85]

since i don't have that money, no i wouldn't. like 1000k is 1.000.000 bucks right? or did i get it wrong?

[Nikki1989]

1000K is nothing. Our home theatre system cost us 12,000+ and that is just one of our entrainment set-ups. We have many more.

[Kreneman]

I did that back in the days for HD Television and my PS3 & PS4.

[VV3ZZY123]

1000k means 1,000,000.
If you already typed 1,000 then you dont need the k. Which stands for "kilo" a thousand.

[VV3ZZY123]

And yes I would spend 1000 if I had the money and the room.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Hell that's a lot 😮 unless it's a vital piece like an oven or a hot water system 🚿

[itsclearlynicholas]

Or a fridge freezer 🥶❄️

[TommyMountainFigure]

If by electronic device you include a treadmill (with an electronic screen) then yes, but for a TV? No.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Never. Entertainment is not worth that much. Entertainment isn't even worth 700

[Still-alive]

I went 2k for my computer in 2018. Still running very well.

[FuqUFggt]

Hell no. TV is a total life drain. Buy appreciating assets not deprecating assets that drain your time and happiness.

[Anonymous]

1000k? As in 1000000? :-).

When I was young and single I bought a really nice TV. It wasn't 1000 but not far off.

Nowadays I have kids and a wife so every penny is life and death.

[Dinklex3]

I can’t see me ever spending more than 1k on a tv.
