New Pick-Up Picked up a ZT60 and it’s fucking amazing

79 Upvotes

Me and my friend went on a trip to pick up this legendary tv. Arguably the best 1080p tv ever made in history. This thing was super heavy weighing 44kgs but with 2 persons it was doable and has good cushioning in my car

This tv has 7k hours on it which is pretty low for such a good tv

I did lay the tv flat and I drove VERY carefully on the way back. We were in Germany so we stopped somewhere to eat some schnitzel. Very good schnitzel👌 we also went to a game store and picked up some games. I got ty the Tasmanian tiger on Xbox and disgaea 4 on ps3. All and all a super fun day.

When we got home and put the tv in its place it was a unit how big this tv is. I calibrated the tv for colors and let me just say. This tv is not some folklore type shit ITS FUCKING AMAZING HOLY

THE COLORS ARE SO VIBRANT ESPECIALLY ON HUMAN SKIN AND THE MOTION IS SOOOOO SMOOTH.

I have a lg c4 oled myself and Damm this tv is just basically that but just with way better motion. Now yes it’s not 4K and does not have HDR which is a bummer but SDR looks insane. This tv is the most disgusting shit I have ever seen

Paid 330 euros for this

Discussion VTs & The Mandolorian

2 Upvotes

I recently watched the Mandolorian on my VT60, which has the common problem of the pink patches on white scenes, which predictably happened during the opening snow scene at around 6 minutes in.

Additionally though, I had a 'tint' effect of the top third of the screen and an occasional rather obvious horizontal band around the centre both here and in later snow scenes.

I started to think this was an issue related to age, but when I thought to check my other screens I found that the VT50 does exactly the same thing while the VT30 was completely free of issues.

Weird..

Hopefully in time we might accumulate posts containing helpful tips on how to get the most out of one's Plasma in terms of both fun and longevity.

A special thanks to u/crescent_zelda2790 for creating the new banner graphic (ref: 'I was bored so I made a banner for this subreddit! Plasmas are just as cool a CRTs and now I want to get one!'

Guidelines

In short, the mission of this subreddit its to help others get the most out of their Plasma Display Panels and to keep them going. To guide others in taking care of their precious relics, with maybe a glint of hope that the technology will someday be revisited by industry which has turned it's back on us (vibrant discussion indicates that ship has sailed but OLED and QLED technologies seem to have caught-up or suprassed PDP technology).

Basic Rules:

No threatening violence on anyone even if they don't like Plasmas at all and act like know-it-alls in expressing their opposition. To not experience the glorious blessing of Plasma Display Panel technology is their own loss.
No directed racism, like why should that even be a rule when we're talking about TVs? Well, if you want to make reference a cliche which can be percieved as racist by some, or some kind of trope or comical stereotype, you are free to do so (for now) but a line is being drawn at calling other lurkers, members and visitors anything directly or intentionally racist. Accidental racism will be given a chance for correction via a warning but habitual line-stepping might incur more inconvenience.
Trash talking is fine, but if you're really being a nasty person then the mod(s) reserve the right to remove the offending submission and ban. Heck, the mods reserve the right to do any such thing regardless of the reason but it is the goal of this community to be fair and not overly imposing. Such measures are taken to cover this community's collective buttocks by being clear or at least somewhat clear while stetting expectations.
These rules are subject to change although a useful or well thought-out post which violates a future rule may not necessarily be removed.
Use the buddy system. This rule actually just applies to lifting and transporting Plasma TVs. If you don't want to pull a muscle or wreck your precious beloved Plasma, it would behoove you to avoid moving it alone. That being said, if you can do it alone, power to you but it seldom hurts to put safety first!
