I loved the blacks and pq of the plasma tv not only on BDs but also in gaming and sd tv channels.
For those who maximized the lifespan of their TVs how long was long enough?

I too am a big plasma fan. I have two 50" Panasonic Plasma TV's that are still working great. Bought the first around 10 years ago. The second one was about 8 years ago. Both are still performing really well.
It was difficult to upgrade to the new LED / UHD panels because plasma still rocks in terms of black levels.
Ended up with a 65" Sony X8500E. Price vs performance vs value it was the best at that time (about 5 months ago).
If there was an available 65" panasonic at that time it would have been a sure buy.

it's good but I can't say it's as good as DVD to Blu-ray quality jump. It helps in giving a more cinematic experience in the content you watch or even in video games. But is it a drastic change? IMO, I don't think it is. But since I'm using an OLED with HDR, might as well get on the hype train. hehe
I compared Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 1080p SDR vs the HDR version. I only noticed a change in colors. For SDR, it's more vivid and more saturated. For HDR, I noticed that the colors were toned down/looked more natural.
As for 1080p to 4k? It depends pa din sa quality ng content and gaano kagaling yung pagmaster sa 4k version. Sa Inception, I didn't notice much of a leap sa 1080p to the 4k version.
IMO, 4k HDR maganda sa mga superhero movies. I love it on all 3 Avengers, Thor, and Black Panther. Justice League...pwede na. Wonderwoman, mostly dark tones eh so can't appreciate it much. Sa Dunkirk pwede na HDR. Pero medjo subdued colors sa Dunkirk. Life of Pi, HDR stands out, IMO. Yung blu ray 1080p ko na sobrang ganda on my 1080p LED 3D TV, nagmukhang panget compared to 4k HDR Life of Pi.
Watching Avatar on blu-ray to a 4k tv, blurry yung datin. So hopefully magrelease na soon yung Avatar, LotR, etc ng 4k HDR versions. Should be a good upgrade.
I think, for you to be able to appreciate it, I suggest bring HDR content and its SDR version as well para talagang makita mo in person. Was I blown away? No. But I do enjoy the improvement kahit di ganun kalaki.
Is it necessary? I wouldn't say it is, sa opinion ko. Pero it really helps enhance the movie experience. So if you want to be immersed even more, I think it's a nice option to have.

as long as they're in AC cooled rooms you'll have no issues.
Post by: RastaSega on Sep 20, 2018 at 05:25 AM
hindi pa oled yung tv ko. The jump from 4k to 4k HDR is far more noticeable than the jump from 1080p to 4k in my opinion

I have 2 units, of the same model TV, both are in a non aircon room but has at least a foot of space between the wall and the tv. Unfortunately only one has shown its age, the other unit still functions normally.
Same manufacturing dates, same purchase (bought buy 1 take 1 promo) but only 1 had problems.
Post by: espionage on Sep 20, 2018 at 01:52 PM
as long as they're in AC cooled rooms you'll have no issues.This is true, my beloved LG plasma tv is directly aligned at my AC. With 2 inches + bracket spaced in between. Still no issues until I sold it last summer. Sabay ng sa brother-in-law ko na Samsung plasma, now with several vertical lines on a non-airconditioned room. Both are almost 7+ yrs na.

nasanay kasi tayo sa CRT na ilang dekada bago masira. yun ang naging basis ng marami in terms of durability. Come to think of it the CRT tecnology matured already for several decades and na perfect na yung manufacturing standards while LCD only became a mass consumer item some 10 years ago.

* The repair cost nears 80% of the price of an equivalent currently sold TV.
* You're still on a 2K display when 4K content is out now and when 8K content is released in 2026.
Around 10 years is a good time to keep a TV if you have the flexibility.

5 years nga tumagal TV OK na ako eh. pero less than that parang sobrang lugi ka naman.My experience with four Samsung HDTVs during 2006-2016 is that they do not last longer than 5 years. That's why blacklisted na yung brand na yan sa amin.
Although a friend whose company sells component parts to Samsung encourages me to buy Samsung.
Kaso walang OLED si Samsung eh di belat na lang. ;)
My good experience with LG so far led me to buy inverter AC, front loading washing machine and refrigerator from them. Hopefully they last more than 10 years.
I am scheduling a TV upgrade by 2026 when 8K Blu-ray, 8K Netflix, 8K Prime Video and 8K YouTube start rolling out. Hopefully a 146-inch MicroLED TV will cost around $2500. :)

try this link to service you hisense

there are universal remotes & there are Phones, like my Redmi Pro, that can be used as a remote. it handles tons of brand. Kahit yung Asahi Fan na namin na more than 7seven yrs. na yata pumwede sa Xiaomi phone ko.

Pinakita ko sa technician & most likely panel problem raw. But if he actually opens the set to check & confirm, may charges na raw agad. So I decided to just buy a new TV. I replaced this with a Samsung 49" Q60R QLED.

This is my 1st Flat Screen TV.
HITACHI Plasma PD7800TA, got this in 2001 for a whopping price. Still works fine after all these years. I passed it to my Mom's room & still works like new after all these years w/out a glitch. She watched TV like 24/7 except when she goes out & ups the volume where you could hear it when you're a few meters away from her door coz she has a slight hearing problem due to her age. 2 years ago my Mom passed away so I decided to have the TV for the helpers. Still works very well. Oh there old 1 was PHILIPS 29" Picture Tube Type, buhay pa rin, Non-Stop usage except for the remote.
The Hitachi was expensive at that time but imagine w/out changing that tv for the last 18yrs.

a couple weeks back, one of my 75" panel went supernova, its that one white light on the left side of the screen.
TV is about 5 years old, and yes, I bought the 5 years extended warranty, expiry is on June 2020
So I flied the claim to Best Buy, saying panel has a dead bulb probably or whatever you call it,
so they sent in a tech guy to confirm the problem, first protocol is of course, order the panel for replacement.
But after 2 weeks, tech guy called me up and informed na wala na daw stock na panel for this model.
Gave me a number to call, which is the department that handles exchanges.
Best Buy was supposed to do an exchange, but decided that it would be too much of a hassle for both of us,
they ended up sending me $3400 credit and told me that I can keep the TV,...
Sweet,..! My kids wouldn't mind having a 75" TV on their study room even with that blimp,
it only shows on bright scenes, but they wouldn't notice it, that's for sure,
amazing warranty service from the shops here,..!
Am ordering an 85Q70R or 85Q70T QLED as replacement for that one,...

My very first flat panel, a Samsung UA-32D5000, purchased back in 2011 from Sight & Sounds is still working fine. My parents are using it now as their bedroom set.
My LG 55" UH6500 4K UHD Smart TV, which was gifted by my brother just in 2017, conked out with an apparent panel problem last May 2019.
very similar story to mine
my first flat screen, a sanyo lcd-32k30 bought for ph18,000 as a class b from their warehouse sale around 2010 or 2011 has not made any visit to a repair shop. i still like how the cable hd channels look on this hd-ready only unit .
then my lg 43uh6500 first had back light discolorations on it's 21st month which was repaired under warranty. but by its 27th month 2 horizontal lines appeared which divided and delayed the images below each line...panel gone. so it seems lg's uh6500 series has a trend with its panel.
to me it looks like flat panels made pre-2015 are more reliable. i still recall sony 32in lcds during mid-2000s era costing upwards of ph50,000 but the significant price drops the past few years have made it easy now to replace one that goes bust in 2-3 yrs. its disappointing but i guess its the trade off to keep the innovations coming.
the 43uh6500 cost me 23,500 but wifey would not allow me to buy lg again, i'm still not sold on samsung, sony still cost 25-30% more, sharp/pana/toshiba don't have as much choices. so i'm taking the chance with tcl 55a8us at just 19,995 to replace the lg.
as a footnote...my sharp 21in x-bass crt (w/ separate powered sub-woofer) from 1997 is still alive and kicking despite several repairs over the past 2 decades (mostly during the last decade actually ) hehehe

Wala yata problema sa mga earlier years na TVs notwithstanding what (decent) brand. Common ang anecdotal proof na matagal na ang TV nila na nabili nung 720p at 1080p pa ang affordable resolutions.

If not for the table under it w/ a vase, this TV would have called it quits. Luckily the table catch the left side, w/out it the whole thing would be crashing to the floor. The vase rolled off & broke. Nobody is using the room & during the ECQ just wanted to hang out in that room so the AC would also made to run & not being idle for a long time but to my surprise the TV was hanging already. Its really our weather I think too much heat & humidity crumbles the plastic materials & makes the rubbers so sticky. So sad until now I have to find time to look for a new bracket
