Agreed... f**king awesome.

Apart from the screen the rest is just the bog-standard mobile hardware config, Raspberry Pi type thing. I suppose it even has a name nowadays. No wonder OUYA wants to become platform independent. Am I making sense? :)

It sucks that it won't come out of China. I wonder what that price is like for the average Chinese citizen?

Most TVs (and electronics in general) are made under such conditions...but usually the profits are passed along to the CEO's and stockholders instead of the consumers. Plus they usually want to charge an extra $300 for a bt soundbar, $125 for a good remote, and then they put some terrible UI on it.

All I wonder about is the quality...4K support is different than 4K and when we first got 1080P there were a ton of cheap TVs that were sold as 1080P when the actual displays were 480i.
