I remember paying $1200 for my first 40" flatscreen tv in 2008, and I thought I was getting a bargain at the time 
EDIT: I found a struggle picture from back in the day for reference.

you could connect a cable box to it, and use a universal remote with the cable box though

Took that bih home, set it up and the damn picture went black after a few minutes
.Ran back to the store owner, the only test the shyt and it was working for almost 20 minutes.
Thought I was tripping and came home only for the picture to go out again within seconds

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
We had a 36" in 91. Got a Super Nintendo that year. Everyone was at my crib Friday and Saturday nights.
TV was heavy as fukk... I have a 65" now that I can lift with one hand.

Thought it was gonna be one of these.
Can't imagine paying 5k for that bullshyt. Ain't shyt it can even have to warrant that price back then.
