Hi everyone

My main television - the one i use in my living room - is a 37" panasonic viera plasma. It's 720p. I currently have no plans to replace it. I know it's a bit old fashioned now but the picture on it still looks great. i think if i could change one aspect of it id rather it had a smaller bezel. i like the fact that it isnt 'smart' in any way, it just shows a picture. an additional hdmi port would be nice. i have an android streaming box and an apple tv 2 plugged in to it, along with my sky+ hd box.

thank you for reading.

i have a 32" 1080p tv and one time i walked by real close and was like wow this actually looks good, turns out you really cant tell 720p from 1080p from 8' away what a waste of pixels

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
i've got a 46" sony bravia that is like 8+ years old and I'm gonna have that thing until it dies.

televisions are universally terrible and the only rational way to purchase one is to do the calculus of which qualities you care least about and can put off dealing with until your next inevitably terrible television purchase. death to consumer electronics

for reference i currently dont own a tv. not saying that those of you who do are intellectually lazier i dont think im better than anyone. some people are perfectly happy wasting their life away to ncis whatever and i think thats great. im just more interested in catching up to the nobel prize winning books i still havent read

hmm. mine is basically the same except is a 42". it's this one i think: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003924U7A

i have an apple tv and a chrome cast plugged into it. it's great except for the power consumption, but we don't use it that much anyways.

All the tvs on my house are plasma. A Pioneer plasma from 2006 and the rest are Panasonic plasmas from 2008. They all still knock the poo poo out of any LCD I've ever seen, no matter how expensive or new the LCD is.

Plasma is finally being dethroned by OLED and I can't wait for them to drop a bit more in price. Though I bet OLED fails only because the name is confusing. So many people I know think they have OLED. But it's just an LCD with an LED back light. Who names this stuff?
