I have a 65" Panasonic plasma I bought at the end of the last year they sold them. The picture is still awesome. I'll try to keep it forever unless it breaks one day and can't be fixed.

I have a 58 inch and 65 inch. Both HDMI inputs on the rear of both sets don’t work. Only the side third HDMI input works on them. Weird. There is a light blue haze that appears dead center of any brightly lit white image on the 65 inch (possibly some old burn in or something similar) and despite all of that I haven’t upgraded yet. Not until the cost of the really good OLEDs come down.

I am still using my pioneer kuro plasma from 2008. I haven't seen anything that will make me get rid of it yet. Im Dreading the day it dies and I have to replace it.

I've got a 42" Olevia LCD that I bought in 2008 that has been moved to the bedroom. It still works fine.

Give it to a college student or high schooler

I wouldnt expect more than $50 for it. IF that's worth your time...go for it. If not, just give it to family/friend.

It's interesting how everyone pretty much concedes Plasma was a better picture yet we let inferior LED tech take over. This shows you how falling for mass marketing campaigns can be such bull shite.
LEDs are brighter therefore stood out more in a store. LEDs were also capable of a much thinner bezel, and we all know how technology is trending to almost nonexistent bezels. Lastly, Plasma TVs are much heavier than LED and earlier models were subject to burn in.
That said, plasma TVs were amazing for picture quality. I miss mine.

And LED panels are far more energy efficient

I am sad my plasma board died. Wasn't worth $300 to buy a new board off ebay but when I upgraded to my 75" sony LED, I wasn't gonna get rid of my plasma

I'm still on my 2013 Panasonic ST60. It doesn't get as black as OLED, but at least it's uniform near black and doesn't have the banding and crush you have to trade between when setting OLED brightness. I do have an OLED tablet, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.1" 16x10, and I find myself doing a fair amount of viewing on it. It's nice, but they crush RGB 0-7 and video levels 17-20 or so to get perfect blacks. There's an app called Screen Balance that allows you to ameliorate this, but it's a trade-off between perfect black and uniformity and banding near black just like with the larger panels. I ended up accepting crush of RGB 0-4 or so, and for video, levels 17 and 18. Looks great with almost all material, but it ain't perfect, and I'm not eager to go through panel lottery with a big TV. It's a lot easier to return tablets, which I did twice before concluding they're all about the same.
