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?


I’m with others. An offline ‘smart’ OLED is a dumb one, and with game mode they have lower input lag than any plasma I’ve used.
They’re just obsolete.
And yes, modern TVs have features you don’t need. Just don’t use them; they’re basically zero hinderence.
Maybe plasmas are okay if you find one at goodwill/eBay for dirt cheap, but that’s about it.
