A properly calibrated plasma TV is better than any 4k LCD on the market.

People are selling off there high end plasma tvs (Panasonic, Pioneers) ridicously cheap.

I picked up a 50 inch top of the line Panasonic worth 4k back in the day for $50 off marketplace and the picture is sublime once I changed a few settings. Like Oled level good

Calibrated it and it trades blows with a 4k Oled. Absolutely ****s all over any high end LCD currently on the market HDR or not.

4k vs 1080p....after a certain distance you cant tell which is which....HDR is nice but on LCD it blooms and a properly calibrated plasma still looks better.

Grab yourselfs a bargain and dont buy into the smart TV hype.....there are 65inch Top of the line plasmaa going for $200 which closely match OLED once calibrated for 20x cheaper.

Oled > plasma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LCD

Don't plasma TVs degrade a lot faster because they are constantly leaking gas?

Yep, they’re a bit like tires.

Got to hook them up to a compressor every year or so to keep the pressure up.
