In Reply to: Great pic and Streaming, right from the TV, no external stuff needed. What's not to like? posted by oldmkvi on July 11, 2013 at 08:29:16:
That's funny because I have read many complaints about plasma sets blowing out pixels over the years, and how warranties didn't cover it unless there were more than 10 pixels blown, even if most of them were near the center of the picture.
I am not a teenager here who is new to this. I've been around a long time.
I watch a lot of news and business news programming, and besides, plasma sets put out more heat and use more energy. I am seeing more than good enough shadow detail in this cheap 5000 series LED tv now, that to me it's not worth buying a plasma for similar money. It is not remotely warm after hours of use, either.
As for the suggestion that I should just buy a 720p set because I am on a budget...I mean get the blank over yourself! Just go watch tv or do whatever it is you do, because a comment like that is not welcome in this thread.
If I were going to just buy a dedicated movie-only set, and didn't mind burning in the middle part with the 2.35:1 material...and had no intention of ever reselling it again, and had no intention of ever replacing my front projector in my home theater at some point...then I would have a similar amount of disposable income that many of you have...and I would just blow a few grand on a 70 inch or larger plasma tv...but that's not what I want to do. As I hinted at in my initial post, I will be buying a new front projector for that use, at some point in the future, but not now.
I'm sorry if I'm not onboard all of your plasma bandwagon. I guess I will need to post on some other website to get opinions between the two sets I listed in my first post, along with what they cost (which is the implied budget)...for those of you who wouldn't even read anything other than the subject header of my first post.
Being a fanboy of something such as a plasma tv design, does not make you an expert on everything. What does it make you? Use your imagination, if you can...
Thanks for the input, but it's not helping. Rather some of it is backhandedly insulting...so I hope you enjoy some of that in return.
