Yeah so Vizio made $502.5M in device revenue and $57.3M in Platform+ gross profit.

So if the devices cost 11.4% more that'd compensate for the elimination of Platform+ profit.

And depending on the accounting it could be much less than that since the cost of the devices would go back to being much cheaper if they were just dumb TVs with HDMI ports and no spyware/adware.

So that's about what I thought.
