Displays/screens, especially OLED these days. My phone screen uses this technology, my smartwatch, my tablet and my Alienware ultrawide PC monitor for gaming and movies.
And how did they get so freaking cheap?
Part of it is the manufacturing process is unified between TVs, monitors, smartphone screens, car screens and anything else with a screen in it. Its all the same manufacturing process and they just slice and dice the LCDs based on what's in demand and what they can cut out of each panel
Mostly from ads and tracking you
Edit: especially on TVs. They're subsidizing an upfront loss to make more from selling data with the Smart TV features
