We gave away the plasma and now have a Samsung 75" 4K LED TV and a Vizio 65" LED TV and our electric bill since 2013 has never been over $90 a month and most months about $80. That TV was costing about a $1 a day more to operate.

I still have my 50" Panasonic Vierra plasma TV even though it is broken. I need to get it to a vendor to repair the power supply on it. When these were released, seemingly every electronics website on the web was tripping over its own feet praising it as the best TV you could buy at any price.
So if it's broken, why keep it? Well, it may not do 4K but it does do HD very,
very well
and it does 3D HD. I can't find
any 4K TVs that support 3D. I'm not a
huge fan of 3D as most of the 60 or so films I have in 3D really aren't that great but the few that are (
Avatar,
Gravity and David Attenboro's
Kingdom of Plants 3D come to mind) really,
really look good in 3D.
