Interesting, I wouldn't expect huge numbers of returns because I think the vast majority of buyers quit looking at review sites once the purchase is made. And the video makes it very clear that the difference between 800 nits and the 1000 nits in the spec is indistinguishable to most customers. I'd expect this to have a bigger impact on future sales. This YouTube channel has 22K subscribers which is significant but is a pretty small number compared to sites like cnet.
This is a top of the line product. If I spent $2,500+ on a TV because I thought it was that much better than a similarly sized $700 TV, because I wanted the best possible picture, and then learned that is very easily could not meet the specs I thought I was purchasing, I would return it and buy a competing brand. I imagine a large percentage of buyers would act similarly.
That's my point. What percentage of buyers who now have these in there homes are still going out and reading highly technical reviews looking for problems?
So... three people then.
I disagree completely with that sentiment. While I do agree that serious hobbyist are not the vast majority of buyers, I do believe the amount of serious hobbyist is a large number by itself. Since these are among the most expensive readily available TVs available, they are likely attracting more serious hobbyists who care than, say, the TVs which cost half as much.
But, all I did was make a joke about a manufacturer screwing up and you turned it into a debate about whether or not people care enough to notice their expensive TV may suck.
