While I don't think we should count the monitor, his reasoning is probably that a PC monitor only has use in the computer, while the TV is something that you already have to buy anyway, even if you have a PC. Even without the monitor, the pricing difference is still pretty big. Getting 4K or close to it by 400 bucks is a killer value. I dumped close to it on a 970 1 year ago and it isn't touching this kind of resolutions since it struggles with 1440p. 1500$ is somewhat exagerated. But more than 1K without a monitor is a given if you are going with a 1070, so the 399 price of the Pro is pretty good. I can't see why someone would even grab a Slim with the Pro being so cheap. |
You don't need a 4k tv. Most peoples current tv's are completely fine. So I would consider buying a NEW tv to be an added expense.
And if we are talking about TV's being something someone already has to buy anyway, then what about the fact that many people also buy a PC anyway for business or photo's or something. Sure they can get away with a cheap $400 desktip or something, but then shouldn't a PC person be able to subtract that from their $1500 price tag and say "I needed a computer anyway, there was no way around it. All I did was spend and extra $1,100 on this one"
A PS4 is not a NEED. A pc in a house may be.
