Don't plasmas get dimmer over time? Even if it's working it must have lost a lot of brightness by now.

i can't speak to the earlier models, but according to my manual it's expected to lose about half its peak brightness after ten years.
mine was the second last year of production for Samsung.

fun fact, samsung eliminated permanent image retention with the 2013 model year.

Even oled hasn't solved that problem. :smug:

They also never suffered from the "dirty screen" effect.

Even at half brightness it's probably still perfectly viewable unless you're one of those people that watches TV in direct sunlight.

On the one hand, owning a plasma tv doesn't make you a "plasma person."

On the other hand, you sound mad that somebody poo poo talked plasma TVs, so maybe you are one after all :shrug:

Use the tv you like, it's ok if the internet doesn't like it.

Where is the bundle of Picross DS and e1-e9 as well as Mario Picross 1&2 and the super Nintendo Picross. Port them all in one you cowards. I finished S1-4 and Overlord, and Murder by Numbers, and I'm almost done Pictoquest. Pic-A-Pix is bad and I'll never play it.

pic-a-pix is fine and has better/more challenging color puzzles than the Jupiter games. plus way more content because it's got a bajillion DLC puzzles.

The main thing I miss about these picross are the licensed content. On the DS games it was real fun to do a pair and it is a big Zelda scene or something.

There's a couple licensed ones but they're from some anime I've never heard of

A few pages into Picross S2 -- finished all the Picrosses in 1 and played a few pages of Mega which I really enjoyed until they got way too hard -- and now I get why people said they can never recognize the pictures before the title comes up. In S I was getting them maybe half the time but they must've completely exhausted every object that was vaguely recognizable blown up without color and in S2 they're all large scenes that are too detailed or just variations on some type of flower.

i personally dont give a single poo poo but the (hopefully joke) suggestion was that i throw the plasma away and buy a different tv and that is dumb regardless of the type

Imagine being given the gift of plausible deniability and tossing it out for a just plain lovely logo. Cumbros was probably the only chance that game had to get out of obscurity.

Exploration is ill-advised.
If you put the word out on reddit or craigslist you can probably get a CRT for free just from people who want to get rid of the loving things.

Reminded of that Steven Universe running gag where Steven's TVs keep getting destroyed, and reminded that they're CRTs in a contemporary setting, they can probably just go down the road and get another one for free.

CRTs are never free because it takes like 6000 calories of energy to move those heavy bastards. That being said I do love my CRT and will use it until it dies (but I doubt I’ll ever replace it)

This isn't cool at all Looshkin! These are dark forces you're titting about with!

When we moved in, there was a vast CRT TV that the former tenants had left in lieu of some of the deposit.

We kept it in the living room for several years until I got sick of it, and carried the fucker upstairs to put it in the cupboard. I should probably have waited for my wife to come home and help, because if I'd slipped, she would 100% have been greeted with my telly-covered corpse being eaten by the cats.

This is my CRT anecdote.
