Hello Gents,
I've done quite a bit of research, but honestly my head is about to explode.
I have a 720p Pioneer Kuro which is approximately 8 years old now and is starting to become underwhelming. Im not sure if I just have gear lust or what, but Im upgrading my game console and we sit close enough to the screen where the 1080p missing will become noticable. Also, ive started to notice artifacts popping up on the screen in the blacks and, I believe, diminishing "pop" from the display.
That brings us to today, I would like a 65" 1080p(dont care about 4k right now) under 2 grand if possible. The screen real estate will be enormous and, with it, the 1080p will obviously be necessary. The issue Im finding looking around is that people seem to still be comparing LCD/LED's to plasmas as far as contrast, black levels and motion. It feels a bit like people are waiting for OLED to come in and save the day and Im kind of scared im making a mistake. I had high hopes for the Vizio P series 65" but the pro reviews seems kinda meh so far.
I have no problem holding off for a few months, but I kind of get the feeling that right now might not be the best time to upgrade. Given my current setup, my budget, and where I'd like to be, I'd love your expert opinions.
