I loved my 50ish inch Panasonic plasma tv. It’s still used in our cottage. The blacks are deep, no blur and remote control response was instant unlike a lot of modern smart tvs.

I have a 20-year-old 46" Panasonic plasma TV that still works great. My favorite thing about it is the perfect picture no matter the viewing angle. I was reluctant to buy a new TV for years because for many LED TVs, the picture faded as soon as you move away from being directly in front of the TV.

Me too, I have a 15 year old Panasonic 60” that I’m still daily driving until the proverbial wheels fall off. I’m not looking forward to tv shopping in the smart-garbage-infested marketplace of today…

I have a 50" Panasonic plasma tv too as my bedroom TV. It's going to outlast my 2018 Samsung Frame TV that's having some type of backlight failure

I have one that I got from the free area of my old building. Unfortunately, it stopped taking HDMI input so its basically useless.

Yeah, I had a Panasonic plasma too the picture was so much better (well in many ways at least) than the new generation. It seemed a lot more "analog" for lack of a better term.
