Yep. That's how things go with electronics. Years back we bought a 40" Sony hi-definition TV, 1080p, which had just come out. Lots of 720s out there but we wanted THE BEST and forked over $1,200 to get it. I remember hooking it up at home and marvelling at the gorgeous colors and crystal-clear definition, thinking that this it the best that TV can get. But not too long after 4K UHD hit the market; we bought one (48") for the living room and relegated the 40" to the bedroom. Gave it to my granddaughter when we moved. It works as well as it ever did but you'd have a hard time selling it for any kind of money today.

Live with the annoying line for another year or two. Then dump the dinosaur and get the fanciest TV out there--which itself will be obsolete in three years.
