Trickle Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So my Pioneer TV is now nearly 12 years old, nothing wrong with it at all and never been a problem. Ive always had it wall mounted but we've recently had a bit of a decorating session and some new furniture and will be putting it on a new AV unit we've bought. Trouble is, I never had a table top stand for the Pioneer and to get one costs about £200. The conundrum is spend the £200 on a 12 year old, (but still very good picture wise) TV or put that towards a new TV these days given how cheap they appear to be. My worry is that LED/LCD just don't seem to be as nice to watch as the Pioneer screen, but the 'smart' features will be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbarry1977 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 That's the million dollar question. I'm sure some of the latest screens will be nearly as good as plasma. For me my next TV will be a smart one. We subscribe to Netflix and Amazon. I also like to view YouTube videos via my tv. Currently we have a none smart tv but a smart blue ray player that allows us to circumnavigate the TVs shortfalls. 3d, I wouldn't be bothered. Never liked them, don't bother at the cinema with them. I'm old school. Video is 2d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@carnewal Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Chromecast works really well for Netflix and YouTube. I would keep the Pioneer, it's very good and a crying shame that they stopped making these . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to find a decent aftermarket table top stand in the end for much less than the Pioneer made stands are being sold for so I'm keeping the Pioneer for now, I had a look at a few TVs and just decided the picture quality on the Pioneer is still difficult to beat unless you spend £1000s on a new one.

PorscheGT4 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I cannot move away from Plasma, new LED screens just look crap imo maybe the new OLED HDR might be ok, but not out yet and will be big bucks I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
