Some companies say there monitors are only partially compatible.Having happily owned a 50-inch plasma TV for the past 11 years, Im wondering how the new LCDs stack up against plasma models when it comes to picture.
![]() Since youre a plasma fan, I expect youll find OLED TVs more to your liking since that technology delivers the same rich, deep blacks and subtle highlight rendition plasma was known for. LCD TVs, in contrast, offer a better bang for your buck than OLED models when you make price comparisons based on screen size. ![]() That said, if I were looking at a new tv it would be an OLED one. The plasma still looks great and black levels are much better than even modern LCD sets. I had to replace my 64 Samsung plasma when my oldest boy cracked it with a marble(Im still not completely sure how it happened). I loved my Samsung, but it wasnt top of the line, and as such its black level was significantly higher than the Vizio P65 that replaced it. Panasonic Viera 42 Plasma Tv 1080P SDR LookWhile off-axis viewing is a fairly big deal for anyone not in the money seat, I no longer have to pretend that plasma orange is in fact red, theres never any burn-in, HDR makes standard 1080p SDR look dull, my black levels are superior, and there are no phosphor trails, which was particularly annoying when watching black white movies. I got a top of the line 2015 Sony XBR for a different room which looks really great, but always find myself drawn to the Panasonic in the other room. And HDR is only good if every link in the chain is HDR enabled, including the camera capturing the video, it will look over saturated and fake. Sitting right in front of the LCD the black levels appear to be better, and in a dark room I prefer it (thanks to the local dimming), but the viewing angle isnt as impressive, and certainly nowhere near the unlimited viewing angle of my Plasma. To answer your question, I believe a good-- and new-- LCD with local-dimming LEDs can be just as good as your old plasma, but I would hold on to it until you need to replace it (and consider an OLED. OLED is without a doubt in my future, but as long as my Plasma makes me smile, Ill wait for the 75 and larger OLEDs to come down in price. Yeah, the cartoons they show in the store sure are colorful and bright on an LCD, but otherwise you dont know what your missing. The OLED is a very poor performer in this area: plasma are about as good as you can get. So if you had a plasma and you plan to replace it with an OLED, you will be disappointed in fast changing images, like hockey, baseball or football. Good luck. I still have my 50 last generation Kuro, content in Belgium is still 1080P for a great majority of sources, even getting 4K Netflix to the TV isnt all that easy if you dont have. How do newer LCDs compare in that regard Obviously we the consumer cant easily compare side by side, which is where you guys really have added value:-). And the issue of bandwidth necessary for streaming 4K and the need for a new BR player are significant issues. The real improvement is in the color rendition, so make sure that any new monitor that you purchase has complete compatibility with the new color standards.
