The best TV I have in my house is a 13 year old, 42" Panasonic 480p plasma EDTV. Everything looks great on it: 1080p blu-rays are scaled down and look great, 1080i HDTV looks fantastic, DVDs look awesome at their native resolution and even old, lower quality, 512x218 DIVX/XVID AVIs and standard definition TV channels are watchable. Also in the house are a later 32" 720p Panasonic LCD TV and 50" 1080p Smart TV by LG that I was going to use to replace the old EDTV, but it’s just not as good.
When all my content is 4k, I’ll want a 4K TV, but for now, that 480p is great because scaling down always works better than scaling up…
I owned that TV for a while! Until I decided to take it to my friends house to play God of War 2 on his Playstation 2. Apparently, leaning those against the wall is a bad idea, because after I went home to take a nap, my friend called me in a panic “I just… It just… I’m so sorry brother your TV fell over and the glass is smashed to pieces.”
Honest to God, I don’t know what got into my wife but after a few months she bought me the 50" Panasonic at 720p, and I’m STILL running that.
But if I had $4000 I’d drop it on a 65" LG 4K OLED in a heartbeat. TRUE black, and with 4K you can be inches away from the TV and not lose detail! So immersive!
