Replacing a plasma TV, 65"-what would you buy?

Yeah, like double.

No way I'm paying $4K for a $2K TV.

Around the same as the old one, I guess. ($2K)

I bought a square trade warranty on this one and. Assume if they don't repair it they will replace it.

Thanks TW

I bought a Vizio 65" from Walmart for 899.99. I love it. The only recommendation (this is for all tvs) is to buy a sound bar for it. It's the e series smart tv, not 4k or 3d (not worth the money in my opinion)

Question: If I were to buy a Plasma now and then never use it until my main TV went out (to take advantage of the fact that they still exist and aren't too bad from a price point perspective), would it then last as long as a normal plasma?

I understand I may miss out on some of the bleeding edge baked in technology but the picture for me is markedly better.

You need LED, not plasma.

No way to tell. They are meant to be used, not to sit. Also, why in the world would you buy a depreciating asset and then not use it? Someone will continue to make plasma TV sets.

Go to Costco and get a 65" they are cheap as hell and have great return/warranty policies.

1. You are assuming costs are going to triple or more. Historically technology prices have decreased, even as innovation has increased.

2. The asset you own is still depreciating. You cannot compare it to completely different products.

im hoping Amazon puts the vizio M70 or E70 on sale next week!
