[QUOTE="KevinJS, post: 1725980, member: 373988"] I'm fast coming to the conclusion that a TV is best considered the end point in the video chain and nothing more. A quick look through many home theatre forums leaves one with the impression that plasma displays were the best that TV had to offer, but the rush to SmartTV, 4K and 3D killed it off. Now, it appears that 3D is dying, with only LG seriously supporting it, 4K content is still severely limited and who has ever used a TV browser anyway? "My plasma died. What can I replace it with?" Is a familiar question. "Nothing comparable." Is the usual answer. IMO, smart functions are best left to devices like the AppleTV, sound to amplifiers/receivers and speakers. If your Toshiba is plasma, keep it and use the saving in the cost of an unnecessary replacement for other toys. Plasma did not show well in stores due to a phenomenon known as "dirty whites". Sets placed next to them in "torch" mode made the display seem dull. In reality, you would never run a TV in torch mode at home. [/QUOTE]
