Yeah, not exactly BIFL but 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. 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.


Disconnect TV from the internet. Done.
IIRC some of them will not complete setup until it has an internet connectiom.
And a smart TVOS just opens the gate to eventual input latency, chip overload and a worse experience overall. Best to go back to basics or stick with the new
That isn’t the only part of smart I don’t want. I am specifically looking for the older ui and setup for a more retro setup. On my other tv, I use a custom launcher and adbtv to cripple the smart functions but that isn’t what I am looking for here.
I also want the display characteristics of a plasma or hd crt.
