Now on a 46” Samsung led 4k, hoping it gives similar service :thumbsup:

But sadly nobody seems to make Plasma TVs anymore. :(
I wonder if I hold the record? Recently replaced our 42” Samsung plasma after 13 years service! :o

I still have a similar vintage 42" Panasonic plasma going strong :)

42" Pioneer plasma still going strong at 14 years or so. Still the best image quality I've seen. (Ducks and hides :rofl: )

Kuro was definitely the best in its day, but OLED kicks its arse now.

I got a new 49” Sony last year, great picture and acceptable sound from the built in speakers.

However the Android operating system is a nightmare, slow to boot up and respond, plus it keeps on losing the ability to play ‘catch up’ TV. I’ve had Sony in a couple of times, last time they replaced the mother board with no improvement.

Bought this 42'' Samsung Plasma just after I started at Ford, 11 years ago this month. Still going strong, though it did need a new power unit or something a few years ago. It's a dinosaur. No smart features here!

It doesn't half chuck out some heat :lol: I wonder how much more it costs me on electric? It's on for at least 6 hours every day (yes, I'm that boring) :oops:

I took a photo to send to my Sikh mate at the weekend, hence the image :lol:

Looks like the same model we had, they do use a lot of power-I’ve been able to retire since replacing mine with an led model :rofl:

Any of you guys with the LG TV's use the Plex client? Currently on a Panasonic Plasma with Plex running on a Raspberry Pi, but interested to see if the Plex client on any of the TV's themselves is any good.

After 7 years with a Panasonic Plasma 50" PZ70, couldn't afford the Kuro 5090 at the time. I went for the 50" DX802, wish i'd waited a little longer for cheaper OLED's but this does the job for now with freeview and freesat built in.

For movies and gaming size matters. Image comes from a Sony HW45ES :D
