The $1,299 TV on the store wall cost the factory less than $260 to build, and the cheap $299 set beside it makes most of its money after you take it home, by quietly tracking what you watch and selling that data to advertisers. Now, inside the old RCA plant in Bloomington, Indiana, once called the color TV capital of the world, a man who spent 24 years building TVs for other people's logos is making a 50-inch TV for $31 in parts. He sells it for $89 with every cost printed on the box, and it collects zero viewing data. In this video, we go inside the $100 billion TV empire: the hidden markups, the paid spots on the store wall, the $4 part that kills millions of TVs, and the software that watches you back. Then we tell the story of the red ledgers, the night one TV came off the line under two logos, the 200,000 thrown-away TVs that solved the one problem nobody could, the 71-year-old grandmother whose video reached 50 million views, and the lawyer's letter meant to stop it all. The biggest TV brands are already rearranging their Black Friday plans around this $89 TV, so before you buy your next one, watch this, then go check whether your TV is watching you.
