Replacement tv for my Panasonic plasma

Posted by fwestern753 on September 30, 2017 at 09:47:03:
My 8-9 year old Panasonic plasma now has developed a 4-5 inch wide vertical distortion from the top to the bottom. It was a great tv. I am not a techie or a big movie guy. I enjoy a blu ray movie once in awhile. I also enjoy sports and a few tv shows. I am 63 and my son recently got me a Roku and I picked up a Sonos playbar(the tv speaker was distorting). The simpler the better.

I have been doing a little reading on tvs and it appears things are more complicated than plasma or lcd.(when I last bought a tv)

Any suggestions for a old guy. I would like to do a 55 inch but may consider a 65 inch. We sit about 14-15 feet away from the tv. I was hoping to spend $1000 or less but I can go a few hundred more if that would be something much better

thanks
Frank
