You do the math.

Honestly not sure what you mean. TV's being cheap you mean? I haven't kept a pulse on market trends on anything less than 50" or 1080 for the last decade.
Certainly TV's have gone cheap over the years. TV manufacturers priced themselves into oblivion over the years racking up billions on losses with so many of them closing shop or resigned to taking a loss on every TV sold.
Hell, people still reference the "KURO" standard today - arguably still unbeaten. So damn sad that current sets apparently cannot consistently compare even after so many years.
Is the expectation for an industry leader to price their market into oblivion? Like I said, it certainly hasn't happened for electronics markets and items - cars, processors, consoles, video cards, and so forth.
