Do you still run a plasma ?
Discussion
Refurb on the go so I've been watching my old 50inch kuro in my study leaving the missus on the Frame in the kitchen.
It's great. And by heck does it warm the room up?! It's baking in here!
I just moved on a 65inch oled for a 77inch, but I've kept the Kuro. It's a classic. And we have enough TVs

one of things I've noticed about watching OLED TVs, is they seem to lose the cinematography of the older screens - it looks like you're watching the movie being filmed, rather than the movie itself. I find it quite odd. Is this the "soap opera" effect?

This could well be the setting being used. There's a standard HDR setting that looks exactly like that and - for me - is completely unwatchable. Edited by wormus on Sunday 2nd October 20:06
Try changing the picture setting to cinema or ISF or whatever else is available to you.

Shame. It feels like that ought to be worth something. Especially BNIBI sold a 65inch oled - 3.3k 3 years ago - for 300. Mates rates easy sale, but another 100 or so open market?
Still kept my plasma as its literally worth nothing taking the hassle of selling into account and it can live in my study.
It's a 10 year old mass produced consumer good, with technology that has been superceded as least twice (3 times you could argue), whose features (SMART etc) probably no longer work, with no software updates or support, no warranty and costs a lot more to run than modern units. There is little demand for it. The fact that it still worth ~10% of it's original purchase price should be cause for celebration.

They're worth bugger all (> 5years old) or absolutely bugger all (> 10 years old). The TV I sold for 10% of price was 3 years old - top of range LG - and still better than most OLED on the market and with fully functioning smart features.But most people see a new TV for £500 and don't care whether it's LG's best OLED or Sharps best LCD, it's new and with warranty so why buy used.
I understand it, I also lament the disposable society we live in. Notwithstanding things becoming technologically obsolete, which necessarily leads to redundancy and waste which is perhaps less easily avoided.
What I looked for when I bought a new TV, was the facility to exchange my old one. Similarly to what some manufacturers do with mobile phones. Not to save money per se, but to put it to good use elsewhere. As it happens I did anyway. However, if LG 'said' to me: buy this new 77inch we'll give you £300 off and take your old TV off you it would make life easier, encourage sales, and probably reduce landfill!
edit: there's some irony in lamenting a disposable society and swapping out a three year old TV... I get it.
