Has anyone in this thread switched from a Plasma to a newer TV and noticed any issues?
I came very close to buying a new TV last year but held off, and came even closer this season. At one point I was waiting for a Best Buy salesguy to finish with a customer on Black Friday to come help me, as I specifically wanted to give him the sale (he'd already spent twenty minutes helping me, so I wanted to make sure he got it) and in that time decided not to spend the money. If he had literally been five minutes faster in finishing up with the other customer, I'd have a new TV. But ultimately, I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger.
That said, I'm fairly certain next Black Friday will be my time (or sooner if a good enough sale pops), and now I actually want to get my facts straight before then. I'm currently gaming on a 47-inch plasma that I bought in 2011. It's an LG set, and I love it. It has some minor burn-in issues, but they're easy to fix, and the set honestly looks stellar at 1080p. I recently played Horizon Zero Dawn on it, and even on a launch PS4, with no HDR, or any of the bells and whistles, it was still a joy to look at.
It's pretty safe to say that even when I get a new TV, I'll keep my old one around, maybe to plug older systems into in a different room or something. But I'd still like to upgrade. My biggest concern is latency and response time. The lowest response time I've been able to find on a modern set that's in my price range was 15ms. I know that low of a response time is probably hard to detect for any one with normal ass eyes like myself, but my concern is that it WILL be noticeable due to having gamed on a plasma with less than 1.5ms latency for the last six years. My old set before that was a plasma too, so I've been gaming on extremely low latency sets for around ten years. I never owned an LCD, and this is my biggest worry moving forward.
Can anyone speak to that?
