Plasma TV love
Discussion
Oooh lovely, glad to see the Plasma love is still going strong 
The chaps and chapesses with Pioneer Kuros, do you have the famous red tint issue on dark scenes on yours? Can't say I've ever noticed it on mine.
I remember AV forum threads from way back then where some folk were so annoyed by it, they got TV professionals round to do a pro calibration but it didn't change anything
I have a confession to make......I am slowly falling for OLED
Reason being I bought a proper HDMI cable for my bedroom setup (Apple TV 4K 4th Gen + 60" Sony 4K OLED something or other) and my god, the picture quality with Dolby Vision is stunning. Prior to that I assumed all HDMI cables were the same, it's just wire, right? How wrong I was!!
Anyway, dear old Granddad Kuro is going nowhere

Ignoring the "Digital is Digital" discussion . . . what cable did you get if you don't mind me asking?
Haha . . . what cable did you get if you don't mind me asking?I'm sorry to say I bought it from Apple's website as they recommended it for Dolby Vision and ultra HDR
Pretty sure it's this one - https://www.belkin.com/uk/8k-ultra-high-speed-hdmi...I was using a 99p cable from Amazon previously
I mean, it worked, but as soon as I connected up the new cable, the Apple TV immediately asked if I wanted to switch to Dolby Vision, so I had been watching sub par content for 2 years, lol!!I've still got my Panny 65VT up on the wall in the living room and it is still a great TV. It has done tens of thousands of hours of Peppa Pig and other variations of kids tv over the years (along with the odd film) and it is still trucking along.
I've only seen one recent TV that matches up with it (and if I am honest, probably surpasses it) and that is the latest top line Panasonic OLED. Up until now, nothing else has managed to deal with movement as well imo.
I'll be very sad when it finally gives up the ghost, it has lasted through 13 years of solid use and was even quite useful as a radiator once when the boiler packed up unexpectedly during a cold snap. With the log burner, the TV and the amps on, it kept the living room nice and warm and the rest of the house got a decent flow of warmth too!
