    Largely, yeah. Though i’m not sure about big screen TVs. Supposedly they’re sold at a loss and make up for it in ad sales, but not sure if they sell below cost to manufacture or just for less upfront profit (likely the latter)

      They could give away the tvs if the damn things are running ads and make the money back in a month.

      Which is why I haven’t bought a new TV in about five years. I just buy old used TVs that have absolutely no new features on them and do not connect to anything.
