    A similar thing happened almost a decade ago. Remember the brand Qnix, Catleap, or Crossover? In 2012 and 2013, people started buying "Korean monitors" that have 27 inch IPS panel at 2560 x 1440 resolution, priced at around $300. These monitors presumably have the same IPS panel used by Apple Display at a fraction of the cost. Although your mileage may vary if you bought one (I read some horror stories regarding these monitors), I can say that I am a happy customer. Bought one in March 2012 and I'm still using it now.

They were a very early pioneer in doing cutting edge research to design their products, but as a result they had their research wing being more pure science focused instead of consumer product focused. This created a lot of internal politics and different heads pulling in different directions. Ultimately after decades of this and certain products taking arguably a decade longer to come out than they should have in order to do well in the market (namely the CED, which was a way to put video on a vinyl record... which didn't come out until after VHS and Laserdisc, due to politics and management issues), they ultimately collapsed under all the sunk costs and lack of remarkable products.

    I literally deal with MAP prices everyday at work. They are definitely important, and help big box stores from trampling over smaller retailers. I fortunately have a very decent relationship with my main company, but I can see how even with MAP prices it's a small margin for smaller then us retailers, but they at least make things mostly manageable. There's definitely a certain point where a small retailer could just say screw, why even stock your products if big box stores can sell for less then even the small retailer can pay for it.

(While I don’t THINK TV’s tend to be loss-leaders, it wouldn’t surprise me if the margin was enough higher on the accessories to make it worth it to them.)

    well, what linus did not mention is that Skyworth is the top1 company for buying OLED panels from LGD(aside from LGE). It takes up to 50% of OLED TV market share in China and both Xiaomi and HUAWEI's OLED TV are manufactured by Skyworth. Moreover, Skyworth is the only company aside from LGE to offer 8K OLED(about $30000 in China) and 48' 4K OLED(about $2000 in China).

    It would be interesting but also sort of misrepresenting the product because almost everyone who is buying those TVs wouldn’t even know that you can and/or need to calibrate those displays or have the time, knowledge or money to buy and use a colorimeter. In short everyone that is not a professional graphic designer or deep in the enthusiast hole uses the TVs with the factory calibration. Therefore the factory calibration should not suck

Having a serviceable factory calibration really should be a priority though. Even as somewhat of a "videophile" who does indeed have a colorimeter, the TCL I purchased some 6 or 7 months ago at this point while likely inaccurate, is inoffensive enough that I genuinely haven't bothered to bust out said equipment and go fiddling with the sliders on the app.

    Just wanted to say, I don't usually bother watching the TV related videos anymore, they all tend to feel a bit out of touch with anyone except rich people, but I gave this one a shot. I'm glad I did, it's good that Linus admits that it's not the most terrible TV even if it has flaws and not up to his standards, and he's trying a bit more to actually think about the viewpoint of a normal viewer who doesn't have a kazillion dollars and a large house to put big fancy TVs in. Would have liked to see a comparison at the end towards just whatever other TV you can get at that price point, not just to a more expensive OLED. Anyway I did appreciate the Linus Business Tips too, it's a good insight into how the business model of retail works (or how it doesn't), and I like that it's not trying to tell me "and this is why you should think how things work this way is good and fine", it's just an explanation.

    Skyworth could also be getting lower binned panels that might have with color accuracy in general. Kind of like back in the day when Apple had their Thunderbolt display that and would only accept A+ panels from it's supplier (I think it was Sharp but it might have been LG). So any display that didn't pass with an A+ went into Korean branded monitors that were sold in America for cheap. Supposedly Apple also stipulated that they couldn't sell the panels to large companies or in large bulk so that they weren't competing with LG or Dell with their own panel.

Retailer like Amazon will match the price in a second but manufacturer are actually not allowed to influence pricing (at least in Europe). So what happened they will come angry saying the don't get profit with this low price and we should give them money to cover the margin. If this continues / refuses to give them the money. It will go CRAP (can't realize a profit) and Amazon will stop ordering from you and selling that product

I'll end up keeping this long enough that burn-in would drive me mad.. I spent my $950 on an LG NANO90 (2021) for low latency, 4K120hz, G-Sync gaming. Probably not the TV you want if black levels and color accuracy are the main things you care about, but for my purposes, I'm really happy with it.

    Not sure how others set up their home theater systems, but mine is set up so that all my inputs go into my receiver first and then 1 output to the TV. So my Blue Ray, Xbox, Cable box all go into receiver then use 1 output to TV. There is no sound that passes from any device to TV and back to receiver. So trying to get the Shield to transfer Atmos to the receiver should be no issue if you plug it into receiver first and let the receiver send the video to the TV.
