"...starting out at $8k." There you go. I'm not going to argue with you, 73Bruin. Beyond and I are stating that the large body of consumers aren't going to pay what a 4K big screen TV will cost for quite a while. And, TV glass fabs weren't built based on a few people buying newest, expensive sets. The fabs were built in anticipation of future sales of higher volumes of flat panel form factor TV's.
Time to move on to another topic.
Sorry but you are the one arguing. I have posted examples of higher prices in the past to explain what I believe to be a rational market moving to lower prices. You keep restating the same thing without any facts to back it up. You remind me of the people who said there wasn't a consumer market for PC when IBM PC's were selling for over 3K in 1982/83.
