We can only hope that the increased production will reduce the cost of manufacturing the 48-inch panels, to correct last year’s LG TV price imbalance.

We usually see the best TV specs and features in store for larger screens like these 4K 75-inch TVs, but single-player gaming sessions don’t need a screen that’s viewable to a room of people, and can do much more It makes sense to invest in a more manageable TV size for a bedroom set or second screen.
