Plasma TV In 2022

In this video I talk about the pros and cons of owning a plasma TV in 2022. How much electricity it uses, the inputs it comes with and then I look at some PC games running on it. I actually use my plasma TV mostly as my gaming monitor, as the motion handling is incredible. You can buy plasma TV's for super cheap these days, you just need to make sure it doesn't have burn in. A lot of people didn't treat their TV's very well because they leave them on static images with the brightness and contrast cranked to 100. The two games I play in this video are Crash Bandicoot and TMNT as they are great examples of games that run at 60FPS. Any game that runs at 60FPS will look amazing on your plasma TV. This plasma TV I own runs at 720P and it still works with almost every PC game I own.

I bought a mint 65” later model Pany plasma from a guy who was into film and audio, he had to get rid of the tv because his wife wanted one with the correct input to run their security system video thru, (I’m not sure what it is, some kind of pci input idk) They we’re really well off, super nice guy. He said $100 over the phone and when we got there he said just give me $50.00. Got home n plugged in my ps4 and the tv is beautiful, I’m playing gow ragnarock on it and my brother in law who was lg oled cs I think even comments how beautiful the picture is on my screen. No latency motion is perfect. Blacks are deep, I love it

I used to have the 50" version of this TV. Great set. Always wanted to get a HD CRT so I am jealous of yours. But I did just get a Panasonic 60" ZT60 with very low hours for $200, and a 43" panny plasma for free.
Really stoked to watch movies on the ZT60.

bought a panasonic viera this year for 200...one of the last mid range models from 2013. Such a good tv i dont see the need to upgrade to an oled just yet especially since i do only 1080p content.

Plasma works by the PWM method and (O)LED works by the simple and hold method. The plasma physically updates the images 600 times per second from the black screen to the image, whereas the BFI only simulates the operation of the plasma drive. On the LED, the image is replaced by an image (from this plumes), on the plasma, the frames are separated by a black screen with an insanely high frequency. I recommend to purchase Pioneer KURO -a professional plasma with reference colors SDR (LX508D /LX5090H / KRP500)

The 600hz is if you had 60fps and each frame flashed 10 times of 1/60. This makes the 600hz image. It’s called subfield drive. Panasonic developed something called focus field drive on their later models, these ones had 3000hz.

2 Months ago i found a Panasonic 50' ST60 in the trash, i replaced the SS Board because two mosfet's was completely shorted (the board was new and it came in panasonic original antistatic bag) and i payed 46 euros with shipping.

This Plasma TV replaced my shitty Sony KDL 40WD650, it's amazing how good is this TV, unfortuantelly mine consumes 350watts at max 😢 but i dont really care when i have this gorgeus image quality, black levels are amazing, is almost oled black (you can see black is emitting light in a dark room with black image on the screen but you have to get very close)

I still run my plasma. cause it can play 3d bluray ivr got the incredibles 2 on bluray 3d and a huge bluray libray I have a pansonic 3d plasma from 2012 we use it all the time.

[michael-k]

wait, the CRT does a better picture then a plasma? wow, would love to compare the 2.

[truthx]

I went into service mode on my panasonic plasma and cranked the contrast and white point high drive without getting blown out images.its brightness is now comparable with my galaxy s20 plus with it's brightness set to 50 percent

[nekomansa]

I'm extremely sick of poor motion clarity, so I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one of these. They're so cheap and I can mount it over my main monitor! It'll be great for playing games and play-testing my own.

[MisterSquirrelWX]

I own a Panasonic viera plasma tv, It’s held up well since 2007 and it’s still going strong, besides a blue bar that shows up sometimes.

[tvpro]

Still have my 17 year old Sony plasma tv in use in 2022

[drsysop]

I still have my 50 inch Panasonic 1080p Plasma TV from around the same time but seems to get very hot after it's been on over an hour which I hate. TV is very heavy & seems to use more power than newer ones & the picture is so sharp & clear & blows many new LCD ones today.

[michael-k]

Plasma needs to make a move and release new models asap! me love a plasma!

[CrashCarson]

Man I want a small plasma, one of the later models like 2010. Smoothness is something unmatched and blacks should be great. Most people have forgot how we used to get good color, deep blacks, and amazing motion from a plasma/crt-it was normal. Def get on the Blu Ray, they're cheap and the better video and audio codecs are great. Also plasma is based on electricity, an exact voltage for each pixel gives a specific color. That's why they can use so much electricity. Plasma may be 600hz to reduce burn in and use less electricity but it's usually limited to 60hz for actual data.

[TheOGJagg]

It sucks why they couldn't get 60fps for crash! It would've been nice to play 60fps on the PS4 or Xbox ones.

[jamescollins]

How does this television use so little power? I've seen plasma TVs that use close to 500 watts at that size.

[visionop]

I was one of those people who hoped plasma would win the battle of HD. *sighs*

[fringeminority]

I just grabbed a pioneer for $60, Its probably at least 10yr old 40" at least.... I bought for my kids to game on but im having second thoughts about putting in play room cause the picture quality is so dang good even compared to new tvs. Think ima keep this one for myself . ;)

[shiroumxm]

I got a plasma from a girl neighbor.. she wanted to throw it to the garbage and ask me for help cause it´s heavy.. instead i took it to my home.. it is dead.. but looks like they took care of it cause ir´s clean and in good condition.. it´s just 720 p but it´s fine for a xbox 360 native resolution..
next week im gonna check it.. hopefully I can save the thing
I already have a toshiba crt for SNES and NES games and a Samsung 1080i where I play xbox and 360 games
