That makes since. Keep it cheap and pricy to the public... Less unneeded circuitry, more in the pocket for the company.. Glue and magnets are cheaper than convergence boards anyway.. lol

You are half right - the set was made less and less expensive to the public too. Since the introduction of TV, sets have gotten cheaper and cheaper in real dollars every year. For a long time, the dollar price was about constant for a color table model, while salaries and the prices of most other items went up. Lately, the dollar price dropped too. Now that flat panel HD sets are out, real prices have been temporarily restored to old levels, but are rapidly eroding too. The innovations in lowering the cost of a color TV were driven by the intense competition within the U.S. industry and later with Japan, and of course now other countries. It was a standing joke at TV manufacturers that they "lost a dollar on every low-end set, but made it up in volume".
