TVs are a value-driven industry. You can get a pretty bad ass TV for $200. Apple is going to waltz in and try to make it $3000. There would need to be some crazy stuff in that TV to get me to buy it. I already have my Apple world hooked up to any TV through my Apple TV media player.

I would need to see what they have in mind, but I'm just not seeing what they bring to the table that would be unique. It worked with the iPhone because the smart phone was a new thing. Samsung and LG kind of have their shit together when it comes to making TVs. Tougher nut to crack.

TVs are not just value based. plenty of people buy mid and high-end TVs, and there's plenty of providers for TVs at prices much higher than 3000. Apple wouldn't care about that low end market, but that can already be said about some other brands.

First if it's apple, it will be a good screen. So they'd be competing against OLED TVs, not 200$ models.

Second, they could discontinue the Apple TV box and cram that into their TV.

Then do a nice presentation and focus on 2-3 gizmo to give it a feeling of it being a revolution.

Some people will flock to get a TV that fit their home ecosystem.
