Last of the Plasma TV's

[Bushbasher]

I have recently updated from a 42" Viera plasma that's now about 7 yrs old to a 47" Viera LED/LCD and I can't fault it apart from the clunky operating system. You'd think they'd improve things in 7 years but the basic architecture is still unchanged. Having said that, the picture on the new one is good enough for me to not pick a deficiency and at about 1/3rd the power consumption of the old 42" and less than 1/4 the heat radiation I'm more than happy with LED/LCD over plasma. My old 42" is capable of raising the temp in any room it's in by about 2 degrees in less than an hour. It's now relegated to bedroom duties even though it's picture is still as good as the day it was bought.
