I'm still using a 50" 1080p (plasma!) television in my living room. It's close to 15 years old now. I've seen newer and bigger TVs many times at my friends house, but it's just not better enough that I can be bothered to upgrade.
- dmonitor 2y agoDoesn't plasma have deep blacks and color reproduction similar to OLED? They're still very good displays, and being 15 years old means it probably pre-dates the SmartTV era.
- semi-extrinsic 2y agoYes exactly, the color is really good and it's just a stupid monitor that has an old basic Chromecast and a Nintendo Switch plugged in. It does have HDMI-CEC, so I haven't even used the remote control in several years.
- pbronez 2y agoClassic Plasma TVs are no joke. I’ve got a 720p Plasma TV that still gets the job done. If you’re ok with the resolution, then the only downside is significant power consumption and lack of HDR support.
