Getting a used Kuro, should I? - Blu-ray Forum

MachineGod · 03-16-2016, 04:38 PM

Ive been searching for a new TV lately. My current TV is a simple 2011 Vizio, 720P. It's nothing special at all, but it works. I am getting my taxes back soon and I was thinking of getting the M43 C1 with 4K and local dimming. I really want something other than an edge lit Led which is all I've ever really had for a long time. The M43 is only 500 most places so it seems like I very good deal for what you get, and in my experience Vizio isn't much less reliable than any name brand (in fact probably more than Samsung).

But recently I was discussing getting a new TV with somebody at work and they told me they have a 50in Pioneer PDP 5080HD and they said the would sell it to me for 300, perhaps even 250. Sounds like a great deal as long as the thing has no burn in issues, he says it still works very well after nearly 10 years. I haven't seen it yet but he said I can see it myself before I get it sometime. I've never owned a Plasma but I had a friend who had a Panasonic Plasma long ago and I always loved the picture and wanted one ever since, and Kuro is the king of all plasmas so I'm really considering it.

I'd like to get some other opinion though, I'm not totally sure what to do. Its the difference between having 4K and only 720P, but with all the other Picture quality advantages of Plasma I'm not sure I care. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated, thanks
