So I accept there a slight increase in price, but the problem is that shops in the EU also give themselves a huge profitmargin, and there is where it gets ugly, and yeah shops in the EU also need to pay more tax and provide more protection for their employees, but many are pushing it way over the top.
And they cheat by pretending the euro isn't valued at 1.4 times the dollar in the first place, so they could sell a $1000 item for €1000 and then be making 40% more, and that should certainly cover the 20% tax AND the extra money shops need AND STILL make more profit than US shops.
Although I'd prefer a number on 'blacklevel' rather than contrast, since contrast you can cheat with by just making it able to be brighter and still have the issue with it never getting really black.
