The Panasonic plasma picture is still great and the TV must be 15 years old now. It was our first flat screen TV after retiring our 20 year old conventional 27 inch Sony Trinitron which had a great picture, too. We’ve been here since 1983 and have had only two televisions! I had one small repair done on the plasma TV maybe six or seven years ago.
That is really remarkable.
I don’t like to talk about how old my TV is.
If I do, it will probably quit working tomorrow.
We had a 36” Toshiba CRT tv. Damn thing weighed over 200lbs. We had it for, I don’t know, 15 years or so. When we moved, we had junk haulers come and get it. It was going downhill, anyway.
After the move almost 7 years ago, we bought a Samsung 55” 4K flat screen.
It’s heavy, but it weighs a fraction of what the tube behemoth did. I marvel at the picture even now.
I can’t imagine what this newer tech is gonna even cost when it’s available.
