I paid $3500 for a high quality 480p TV in 1997. A 4K OLED TV that will stomp all over that TV can be had now for under $1500. In nominal dollars, the TV fell by over 50%. In real dollars, it fell by over 75%.

I spent $3500 on a nice OLED a few years ago. You’re not wrong, but there’s a lot of variance in what you compare.

Cars have both increased in reliability and features and deflated significantly in real terms. They have not deflated in nominal terms as consumer electronics have.
