If your current TVs are plasmas I understand that they're still about the best thing to watch sport on - better than LCD in any case.

What has your new tv got in it
A microphone
A camera
Something that reacts with the Corona vaccines🤭

Meh! If someone wants to listen to me shagging the missus then good luck to them.

I’ll accept them looking for keywords for the convenience it provides me.

We talk about firearms and all sorts of things and guess what! No raids on our house, however, the topical advertising has proven quite useful [emoji41]

Wouldn't have a clue what to buy in new tv.

Our current main tv is a philips 42" plasma purchased march 2007 for $2880 and that was the beat down price then from the good guys

there is nothing wrong with it except it cant do updates now , so I guess at some time it will become redundant.

I don't know what you could buy for $3k but I think on todays prices you could do very well

I've just recently reset sound .....to suit my ****ed hearing and improved colour/contrast etc ......didn't realise the picture had deteriorated so much/ maybe my eyes...

I've got a stereo and macbook hooked up to it to thump out my fav music videos , no antenna, only fox.

I think it will do 20yrs......in 6yrs time the whole gambit may change , then it will be too fandangled for me.

A few years ago did some work for a TV manufacturer who was calling what you and I might call a TV an access panel. This was on the basis the screen was now only a part of what the devise could do. The TV screen wax there to support all the other things you could now hook up to the TV. It was the software and associated eco system that they saw as the future. At the time thought it was a bit over the top but am now thinking they were right
