General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Cheap enough nowadays. I have three, just for one viewer, though comes in handy for guests. (Also have three 'boxes'/recorders which can display TV on my Hi Res computer monitors.)

Still remember them being costly, and many choosing to rent rather than buy their sets.

Consumer electronics has been ever so successful at reducing costs of their products, has it not.

Defence Electronics, (area in which I once worked): just the opposite. Need to be state of the art, and to better the opposition resulting in eye-watering costs!
