It is sad when we have to celebrate $599 as “AMD not being greedy”.
Hisense’s new RGB LED panel uses thousands of optical lenses, each containing red, green, and blue LEDs to produce “pure colors directly at the source.”
Sounds like there will still be zones and bleeding since each LED would correspond to more than one subpixel.
Is this some biological instinct to ensure gene diversity?
I do not have info like that, just lamenting that manufacturers (not just AMD) are raising prices of their tiers. The GTX 1070 launched in 2016 for USD 379, GTX 1070 Ti in 2017 for 399. Adjusted for inflation, they are $506 & $522 in 2025 dollars, so expecting there are still some room for reduction, even if manufacturing costs might have risen quicker than inflation, for the $599 price is not unreasonable IMHO.
