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?
You might try looking into brands like scepter that offer dumb TVs, but if you have the money you could also check for retail displays since some still lack cloud management features and can be dumb as well as huge. They advertise with different specs than consumer TVs though so it’s sometimes hard to get info around input delay and other things you’ll care about.
Sceptre’s pretty good, but their speakers sound cheap. I recommend using an AV receiver and external speakers if going with them.
