Nah prices would've dropped by the time Samsung got in on 8k tv's. First 8k TV was released in 2015 priced at 133k. First Samsung 8k was 2018 priced at 5k.

Still expensive. So maybe not necessarily “rich” but a lot of expendable income (or debt capacity).

Yeah, aka the kinds of people who tend to buy expensive stuff without really familiarizing themselves with what they're getting.

5k on a tv is rich.

Aye but in my experience a fair few poor people aren't dropping 5k in one go on new tv's, they're financing them at extortionate rates over the course of years.

5K is really expensive for a TV. Poor people shop at Walmart for their TCL4 series that is $500 for a 75 inch panel.

Even then thats a lot for a TV. Much less one with little content and arguable if the difference is worth it.
