Did anyone else get Plasma pilled?

As a CRT fan I was impressed by the technology, it's like having a flat panel CRT that is super sharp and has no uniformity issues.

I would choose a Sony 16:9 HD CRT over any plasma on the market

Living room TV is a Panasonic 42” G25, smallest 1080P plasma size. Had it since 2010 when I bought it new. Phenomenal picture quality on THX mode, still blows the doors off any 1080P LCD. 1 frame input lag. Contrast is OLED-like. Panasonic Plasma TVs had great build quality too.

most of my shit on my screens sits static for many days so I avoid a lot of monitor technology and stick with IPS until microLED is available

Dad still has a 50” Pioneer Kuro Pro-111FD from 2008 in his basement. It weighs about 80lbs on the wall and consumes ~350W on average but on Pure mode it has unparalleled natural colors and maintains its resolution during movement. Seen some pretty cheap Pioneer Kuros and Panasonic 20/30/50 series (last 3 years of Panny are much improved and pretty darn close to Pioneer Kuro) for around ~$100. Great TVs for picture quality and motion if all you want is 1080P, and you have cheap power.

Why? Sure, motion is gonna be better but only slightly, and you'll get terrible geometry and uniformity issues (colored tints are the edge, misconvergence and uneven focus).

CRTs stop making sense at 27".

Imo CRTs stop making sense the second you step away from PC monitors. CRT TVs are just too shitty, and the non-HD ones whine like dogs too. 

I would take plasma every time if I was picking a older TV. 



Now, unlike most of /g/ I recognize other people have different requirements. I had any interest in retro console games the situation would be different. I just want the best non-HDR displays for my semi-modern content, and do it cheap. Luv me CRT monitors and plasmas.

>I had any interest in retro console

If I had*

I also had a Panasonic plasma, but it broke so I bought an LG OLED.

The OLED is definitely nicer so I would never go back, but the difference between OLED and plasma is smaller than between plasma and LCD I think.

I'm quite content with my Panasonic plasma, my parents also had a similar model for about 15 years. I'll probably switch to OLED eventually, but for now I'm happy to have a TV with ample analog inputs for all my old toys.

i knew to stay away from plasma when i was a teenager and people didnt know how shit they were. He fell asleep watching a movie at his grandmothers house and the dvd menu burned into their nice new big screen plasma by the time he woke up.

still have my p50u50 and it's the best tv i own

the thing wont die and has great picture

comfy

You might appreciate CRT TVs if you watch older media like VHS, it really does a good job at hiding the artifacts you'd see in a higher resolution display.
