Price Per Square Inch for TVs by size (lemmy.world)

This is mostly useless, except to justify buying a bigger TV. However, I did learn:

For most popular high end models, the 65 inch models are cheapest / sq inch (e.g Sony A95L, Samsung S90D, LG G4). For most others, it's the 75 inch models.
TCL S551F 55" scores the lowest ($0.17/sq inch)
The lowest scoring OLED is the Samsung S85D ($0.55/sq inch)
For 100 inches, Hisense QD7 is the cheapest ($0.37/sq inch). For 85 inches, it's the TCL S551F ($0.22/sq inch)

There's not much point in optimizing completely for price per inch, but when I bought my TV in 2013 I plotted this, and discovered a pretty sharp hockey stick in the graph at 70" and above. So I got a 65" TV. If my graph had looked pretty straight like yours I'd probably just get the biggest that is practical for the space.

Same thing for 100 inch models now. Maybe it'll flatten out in a few years.
