It’s funny how everyone says plasma TVs should be kept upright

[Freddy]

I'm pretty sure it's recommended you transport any flat panel display vertically because there's less of a chance the front panel will break, not for any other technical reason.

Yep.

More debate on if a plasma should be kept upright or not:

For Sale - Pioneer PDP-LX5090 with TS02 stand

Owned since new and in very good cosmetic and operational condition. 7 blinking light problem fixed with a new board 4 or so years ago and no problems since. No dead pixels or visible screen burn. I also think I have the original pair of side speakers in the loft. Can be viewed near Eastleigh...

I will keep at least one PLASMA ie 50 inch 3D but offcourse they will not last forever. (nothing does) Black friday i may replace the 46, This particualr TV has a problem on the red button ., has the habit of tunrning off if on the red button for too long and then switching it back on . How ever it is a minor problem . But will get worse as the time goes by. For me the LED 4k TVs are simply not as good, even now. The UHD ones are better? this depends on what Tv it is . they do vary . OLED/QLED are simply a waste of money and they are now being replaced with another idea. This might be good news as they replace the OLEDs the OLEDs will be much cheaper ( same for the QLEDS ) But 8 k tv does not exist Blu Ray does)

I would go for something like the LG 48a2 OLED TV come Black Friday. Last year the 48A1 LG OLED was £500. Even the Hisense OLED TVs in 55-inches come right down to £500. Least you will get a brighter screen than plasma and better black levels.

If you go QLED which is probably nearly as good as OLED the Samsung 50qn90a or b would be a great choice.

See this Samsung QLED is just as good as a Pioneer 500a Kuro:

But you’re right no better but personally I would want to match what I already had at the very least.

I’d take the Kuro - I can see more detail.

I personally can’t see a difference. 🙁. Oh yes I can well spotted, David.
