In Reply to: "I don't really want a plasma tv" posted by oldmkvi on July 8, 2013 at 19:27:35:
Thanks for all the responses...however, no real help so far.
Why not a plasma? Well, because of issues of burn-in, and pixels blowing out over time (sometimes a very short time). These have always been issues with plasma TV's, have they not? If these are no longer issues anymore, I ask why not? Is there some magic new way that plasmas are made, that got invented since 2010?
I already said I know the overall picture quality, and especially the black level, are superior with a plasma tv. But I also said I did not want one, and asked specifically for help with what I do want. I guess that's asking for too much.
To me right now, paying $500 more IS actually a big deal. Money is an issue. I don't have $5,000 of disposable income per month like many of you...
How much could I resell that $1200 tv that I liked for, say in just 2 years, let alone 5? The answer is about $400 max in 2 years, and $250 in 5 years. That's quite a percentage loss. I've already lost many, many, many times this in the stock market...and am not willing to spend more money than I absolutely have to, and also not willing to lose any more money than I have to.
If I had a high degree of income, well I would just buy everything I saw, that I liked. I would have a 4k tv in every room of my mansion, and about $500k worth of highend audio bling in each of those rooms also.
At this point though, I would have to strike enough oil to sell a few hundred barrels a day to support such gluttony, and it's just not happened yet.
Perhaps since $500 is nothing to all of you, you would like to take up a collection for me?
