TVs do seem really expensive here even compared to UK even inclusive of VAT and general rip off pricing.
I got a decent deal 18 months ago on a 4k monitor from Wan Chai computer centre (essentially equal to the US price) but yeah, supply and demand at the moment is very out of balance on all computer equipment. I wonder if the US is a bit more insulated from this for now due to larger inventories, especially on peripherals which stay current for much longer than laptops, processors etc.
