I own a 51" or 52" 720 Samsung Plasma I bought for $500 a couple years ago and I've recently started thinking about upgrading to a 1080p TV.
I had been holding out for an OLED TV (remember when they were supposed to be right around the corner back in 2011? Yeah right! THANKS A LOT OBAMA!) but clearly, they are never going to happen, just like a second moon landing.
I'm not in a hurry, I can wait until the end of this year or the beginning of the next, but not much longer I reckon. My stupid Samsung TV buzzes and annoys me.
So what should I do? my budget will be $2k or less. The size will have to be 55"+ and I very much doubt 4k TVs will be interesting or affordable by then.
I will be using it for gaming (so latency is an issue) and TV/Movies in 1080p, most likely. I don't give a flying f**k about 3D, speakers or smart TV nonsense. (3D will be best served in VR, I will provide the smarts and I have a receiver with decent 5.1 speakers, thank you very much!)
What is your wise advice? I am all ears.
Edit: I found a used, 7-month old TC-P60S60 on craigslist for $850.
Good deal? I'm tempted.
