    Those TVs were in a lot of middle class homes. I think huge is pretty exaggerated. Having a house on the block with those 4 person 40-50 in TV’s was pretty common in a lot of areas IMO.

      They weren’t huge at all. They were huge for that day.

      Sure there was 40+ inch tvs if you were willing to shell out 10k plus.

        Not that expensive at all.

        In the 90s you could get a 40in for maybe like $500.

        Not even close. We’re talking about $1000-$3000 for a decent high end. You could regularly find used for $400-$500 if you could find a team to lug them out.
