No market for economies of scale.Why are most 32 inch television sets hd-ready rather than full hd?

1080p is where I am at.Cost-cutting and maximizing profits..
Same reason why anything 4K is 6x the price of Full HD stuff, despite the fact that 4K is already well established and countries like Japan are busy with 8K
Can get FULL HD camcorder for cheap. Same size machine recording at 4K is like 6x the price. Also when Full HD camcorders came out they weren't that expensive either since I've owned a few. But ja, going 4K is just not possible without selling a kidney.
Um....I have heard the expression "economy of scale" but still haven't tried to find out what it means.No market for economies of scale.
It's cheaper to build/produce things in higher quantities, as your fixed costs are spread across a larger number of products, and it's often cheaper to source raw materials in larger quantities.Um....I have heard the expression "economy of scale" but still haven't tried to find out what it means.
When it comes to consumer electronics its true to an extent. The greed of the shareholders and CEO are also a factor that is often overlooked. I speak from decades of experience.It's cheaper to build/produce things in higher quantities, as your fixed costs are spread across a larger number of products, and it's often cheaper to source raw materials in larger quantities.
So going larger scale means it's more economic per unit produced.

What’s the price difference between a 32” HD ready TV and a 40” FHD TV?Um....I have heard the expression "economy of scale" but still haven't tried to find out what it means.

Note the pixel density is almost the same for a 32" 1360x768 display (48.8 ppi) vs a 40" 1920x1080 (55.1 ppi).Why are most 32 inch television sets hd-ready rather than full hd?
Your rants are strange.Cost-cutting and maximizing profits..

It's not a rant and nor is it strange.Your rants are strange.
It has to do with age and complexity of the production/supply chain.
On average, normal HD is end of life, so basically paid off completely, so you're kind of only paying for material coming in, workers time, and selling/support, with most of that support basically being non-existent at this price tier since very proven tech so know exactly how long it will last/very rare to ever break under warranty.
Full HD same thing, except not fully paid off yet, and the entire chain is a bit more complex, so higher skilled workers, etc.,
4k is a modern supply chain for most TV techs, so not paid off at all.
And doing it by resolution is a bit wrong, it's more the TV tech. You need to hit certain latency targets, etc., which is why TVs are cheaper than same size monitors. Economies of scale also have a huge impact, since e.g. can do tens of phone screens or one TV, TV can have 1-3 dead pixels and it's fine, but can't do that for a monitor (usually has to be under 3), and phones aren't allowed to have any, but you can cut around it more easily.
That dead pixel thing is the same for electronics btw, here is a calc: http://cloud.mooreelite.com/tools/die-yield-calculator/index.html
It's why Ryzen allowed AMD's profit to shoot up, since chiplet design means they can have way smaller core complexes and get away with worse die yields as can cut around it, meanwhile intel (up until meteor lake, just got released, calling it "tiles") had to have one giant CPU with no defect on it, which made costs way higher.

I was wondering if it was just me.Your rants are strange.
Received reality is reality. If people you interact with believe that you’re ranting, then for all intents and purposes, you are ranting.It's not a rant and nor is it strange.
Are you not entertained?I was wondering if it was just me.
To be honest, the level of vitriol sometimes concerns me. It’s not healthy, although I suppose at least venting it here is better than tilting at windmills IRL.Are you not entertained?
So then if you're upset then tell me so, I'll not come here againTo be honest, the level of vitriol sometimes concerns me. It’s not healthy, although I suppose at least venting it here is better than tilting at windmills IRL.
Not upset at all. Just seems you’re angry at something and need to get it of your chest. Here’s as good a place to do that as any, so feel free to carry on. But you should know that you do come across as ranting - I suspect if you read some of your posts in a year’s time you’ll be mildly surprised at their tone.So then if you're upset then tell me so, I'll not come here again
