        True… but that was greatly mitigated in later models.

        I swear that the motion quality and the deep blacks rival high end OLEDs. Really, really good. So long as you can find a decent TV (like the one in the video).

        The issue I have with them is - power draw and heat.

          Yeah I’m still using the last of the good Panasonic VT50 models. It’s still going strong with a great picture. We got it in 2009. It’s early smart features were retired long ago.

              Lol yeah I suppose. Funny story how I got my PS3, I was on ebay and there was a “broken” one listed on ebay for a dollar. The seller said the blu-ray drive wasn’t working and replacing it didn’t help. That was a good day to be me, I tell ya
