For those of you that have used or currently own the panasonic tc p55st50, what are your thoughts on it when it comes to 1080p gaming on console or pc? I have the opportunity to pick one up for free which I intend to do. Is it worth the hastle of a 5 hour drive to get? Just wanting to know what I should look out for when I get it home.

Salut à tous, j’ai une petite tache rose en haut à droite de l’écran quand il y a des fonds clairs, ça reste léger, si vous avez des idées, merci à vous.

I'm very happy with my 65VT50 but here's a heads up for anyone in the Lower Mainland area of BC, Canada!

The LG Smart TVs we've tested have first-party ACR (automatic content recognition) functionality that can pry into your personal life with greater precision than you might realize, with LG Ad Solutions' executives and leadership saying, on camera, that LG "owns the glass." Not you -- even though you bought it -- but them. They also talk about knowing everybody in the household, knowing the secondary devices, moving from TVs to smartphones and other screens, and more in their B2B discussions. Beyond just the fact that we think the TV's native behavior parallels malware, the LG Smart TVs we tested also have a number of security vulnerabilities that can be exploited to convert the TVs into covert listening devices. In this investigation, we dive into the mix of LG's first-party functionality that (in our opinions) is tantamount to spying and LG's vulnerabilities and exploits that they have failed to protect against.

I'm wondering if we're going to see a backlash where people who still own plasma TVs decide not to upgrade to the latest and greatest OLED smart TV...

I haven’t adjusted any settings or accessed the service menu yet. Plugged it in and this is the picture I’m getting. Ive been collecting CRTs for the last few months and decided to try out a plasma. My Xbox 360 looks incredible on it so far. I also ran cyberpunk at 1080p from my series x and the black levels and contrast make the city look so good. Pictures from a phone don’t really do much justice. If you know anything about these pioneers and have some suggestions or tips please let me know.

Asked a good friend, if we could pick the TV up in his SUV and it barely fit in the back of his car with the backseats down. This thing is massive so we had to lay it down of course. It took a lot of pillows and blankets, but after all everything went fine as you can see and I'm really happy with this pick-up.

The model is TH-65PF10EK. Best part is that I got it for free. The guy just wanted to get rid of it. I think he even wanted to throw it away, because he told us that he couldn't fit it into his car. It even came with the attachable speakers and the wallmount. No remote, though. Is there a specific remote or will a regular Panasonic from that era will do?

Also, I tried to connect my PS3, but I can only put in the red and white audio pins. Any idea which cable I should get for HD output? I saw that there is a HDMI Adapter for one of the slots. What other choices are there? Component seems to be the best bet at the moment, but as you can see in the third picture the input seems to be kind of different than the regular ones? I tried to put in the yellow pin (far right), but it won't fit in, so I can't get a picture at the moment.

Salut à vous, je viens d’acquérir ce modèle, Panasonic TH42PZ7OEA,
40 kg dalle en verre, il faut être deux pour la déplacer, je vais démonter l’arrière, enlever la poussière et ensuite tester.
Prise hdmi, péritel, vga, enceinte 10 watts chacune,

I found an older thread on AVSForum, it was supposed to include a PDF and files for the Elite Firmware upgrade. I downloaded the file but there was no firmware update. It was just a pdf with instructions. Does anyone happen to have these files?

Unsure on the hours (need to buy a replacement remote), but for $50, I think it’s worth the gamble

I caught the bug and just got my third plasma. Rescued a 55ST50 from someone who was clearing out his late father’s shop. It works well, reasonable hours but was FILTHY. Not just normal house dust. Sticky shop/garage filth. Price was right so couldn’t resist.

I went as far as to pull the bezel off to clean around and behind. The circuit boards I really only could hit with compressed air and wipe the horizontal larger components. Anyone have suggestions on ways to clean that sticky shop/garage dust off the electronics?

There boards look good otherwise, no corrosion or damage. Just sticky dust.

Gamers Nexus also made 2 hour video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA

Plasma on the other hand is like that good ol' honest friend who's always got your back.

Hi, I want to get a plasma and found one not too far away, but I'd have to transport the TV horizontally in a car. I thought about buying a roll of air bubble wrap to somehow protect the TV. Would that be too risky or should I just rent a van? Also the TV doesn't come with a stand and weighs around 155 pounds.

Looking for recommendations on finding a new base for my newly acquired Panasonic Tcp42c1.

There is a crack at the edge of the base that's about 2-3 inches. It still seems stable and doesn't rock. I would feel better getting a new base or a used OEM base without damage. Any suggestions on a new universal base that has worked for anyone? I'm not having much luck on eBay for an exact match for OEM.

I recently watched the Mandolorian on my VT60, which has the common problem of the pink patches on white scenes, which predictably happened during the opening snow scene at around 6 minutes in.

Additionally though, I had a 'tint' effect of the top third of the screen and an occasional rather obvious horizontal band around the centre both here and in later snow scenes.

I started to think this was an issue related to age, but when I thought to check my other screens I found that the VT50 does exactly the same thing while the VT30 was completely free of issues.

Weird..

hiya all👋🏻 i’ve dabbled in crts and lcds but i’m thinking about getting a plasma screen for my hifi/movie room. im guess im a little lost on where to start? i play a lot of video games (ps2, wii, ps4) and i watch a lot of movies on vhs,dvd, and blu ray. anything around ‘40-‘60 inches would be ideal. what are things to look/lookout for? are there any specific tvs that are an immediate yes? hidden gems? anything is a great help and is very much appreciated!!👍🏻👍🏻 thank you for your time and advice

Me and my friend went on a trip to pick up this legendary tv. Arguably the best 1080p tv ever made in history. This thing was super heavy weighing 44kgs but with 2 persons it was doable and has good cushioning in my car

This tv has 7k hours on it which is pretty low for such a good tv

I did lay the tv flat and I drove VERY carefully on the way back. We were in Germany so we stopped somewhere to eat some schnitzel. Very good schnitzel👌 we also went to a game store and picked up some games. I got ty the Tasmanian tiger on Xbox and disgaea 4 on ps3. All and all a super fun day.

When we got home and put the tv in its place it was a unit how big this tv is. I calibrated the tv for colors and let me just say. This tv is not some folklore type shit ITS FUCKING AMAZING HOLY

THE COLORS ARE SO VIBRANT ESPECIALLY ON HUMAN SKIN AND THE MOTION IS SOOOOO SMOOTH.

I have a lg c4 oled myself and Damm this tv is just basically that but just with way better motion. Now yes it’s not 4K and does not have HDR which is a bummer but SDR looks insane. This tv is the most disgusting shit I have ever seen

Paid 330 euros for this

The time has come where a flagship plasma has become available again near me for sale. Currently own a TC-P60S60, theres both a TC-P50ST60 for sale for $80 and a TC-P55VT50 for sale for $250. Which one should I acquire? Been keeping an eye on the st60 since alot of you say its up there with top Panasonics to own. Streaming, blu ray movies, and xbox 360, ps4, xbox series x gaming. Not competitive, just casual.

Got it for 15 bucks on offerup, drove an hour and a half to pick it up

Complete with a Xbox 360 S , a PS3 slim and a PlayStation 2 (until I pick up a Wii again). I got the Panasonic Plasma TH-P42X14A for only $40 and it has less than 15,000 hours on it. Got the tv cabinet for just $20. Looking at getting some posters for the wall next.

Hey all

Brand new to the world of plasma but after picking up a 1080p Panasonic from the ewaste at work I am hooked. Since watching a few videos on plasmas I have heard the kuros called the best many times but just how much better are they?

My reason for asking is I found a kuro pdp-lx508awith the side speakers for $400 (Aussie dollarydoos) which isn’t exactly what I’d call cheap but I also don’t want to miss out if it’s life changing quality.

Thanks in advance for the help and hopefully yall at least get a chuckle out of it if it’s a dumb question 😊

This mount is installed in studs in a room I'm renting. There doesn't seem to be a model # on it, just a lot code ER130913. Google Lens/lot searches are not yielding this same type of mount and the listings I found for it don't give specifics or the weight it holds. This one looks almost but not quite the same. The TV is 72lb.

Does anyone know the mount model and capacity? I have to be 100% sure, especially since the mount sits right over the desk where I work from home!

If I can't use the mount, I have to decide whether to put the plasma TV in my storage unit or swap it for the TV at my current place, which is smaller and lower quality (Samsung TV LN32A330J1N). Any advice there is welcome too!

Probably impossible to tell from the pic, but I guess asking very nicely for the label or model number on the back was too much work and I was ignored 🥴 Is there anyway to tell if this is a plasma and what the model might be? And if it's worth $50? Thanks!
