"But we should keep in mind that while Apple products are on the pricey side, they are firmly within the reach of the common man."
Just so. With the caveat that it's more like "the common middle-to-upper-middle class (hu)man." There is something for nearly every level of consumer buying power within the Apple line, but the "fat middle" of the curve is within products that are slightly premium priced.
So, where would an Apple HDTV ideally be placed? At a price point where they can have mass market, premium appeal. (I'm utterly unfamiliar with TV set prices, so can't speculate upon a number.)
They'll want to create the "BMW 3-Series of TVs", not the Audi R8 or Bugatti Veyron. So the Retina quality 85inch screen is a non-starter.
