I am looking for a 50+ inch plasma tv for semi-retro gaming. I have some consoles that I want to hook up and I don’t want to deal with smart bullshit and I would like something semi period correct. Does anyone have a recommendation? I remember Pioneer being really nice back in the early 00s but I never knew anyone who had one long term. Is this a terrible idea?
Plasmas were HOT, terrible black levels, burn in, burn out, and go dim.
You’d be better off with a CRT for vintage stuff, or an LCD with a game mode (no lag). As others have said, just don’t enable any “smart” features or connect to net.
