So if you purchased a brand new, curved screen OLED 4K TV tomorrow, you could consider it to be "new" as well as "vintage" or even "antique" ?
Seems like *some* time scale should be applied, but I agree that normalization to the introduction period of the product is relevant. (I consider my 1968 Trinitron to be a "vintage" 'tron and *perhaps* my CT-100 could be called an "antique" color tv, but I am more comfortable with the term "vintage" for both.
