Great point! My error, wasn't paying attention to location. :)

In 2021, $2000 is an expensive TV, not mid-priced. Unless you need a 70" to 85" set. 65" Sony 950H is $1600 at BestBuy, not on sale. 65" LG CX is $2000 at BestBuy, no sale. That's the top-end OLED a person is likely to buy these days. The high-end of "Mid-priced" is a 65" TCL 6-series for...

Just checked: I've measured with a Kill-a-Watt my living room system power use for both Pioneer Plasma and Sony LCD. On a 24-7 average, the Plasma used about 50W/hr more. Which works about to about $50/yr savings. So a $500 LCD would literally pay for itself in ten years. More realistically, a...

Something also to consider: a new budget 4K LCD can almost pay for itself over 5 years in electricity cost savings compare’s to a plasma. Depending on your use, utility rates, etc etc. :)

I sold my Kuro today for $150. Completely happy to have that sold, out of the house, and done :)

All the rooms that need TVs have TVs. I literally don't have anywhere for a spare TV at this point, especially a 50" plasma. :) I'll shove it into a spare bedroom to get it out of the way. And then renew the CL and eBay listings after the holidays if it doesn't sell in the next week.

A week later, and zero interest in a used plasma. Might be a terrible time to sell a used TV: two weeks before Pandemic Christmas people want new 4KTVs shipped from Amazon, not dealing with buying used in person. If shipping wasn't so difficult and expensive, I'd consider offering it an HTF'er...

I found all the bits and bots, got the stand and speaker back on, checked the original remote still works. Listed it here and in the neighborhood for what I think is a fair price. Hopefully get it on to a new enthusiast fast. :)

I tossed the box last year, too much trouble to ship. I’d love to sell it for a modest price to an HTF’er. :)

might also start here in HTF classifieds in case anyone local is interested

I’d love to get $200 from it. Will check eBay and CL for possible sale.

Same here. No space for this otherwise great plasma TV in my home. 50” too big for the rarely used guest bedroom. no exaggeration I think it looks great compared to a top tier 2020 Sony LCD. Not as bright. But contrast as good or better.

i need to see if the Kuro has any value, if I can CL it for anything worthwhile. Or just take it to a e-recycling event to dispose of.

Sony 65” X950H https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/4k-65-tv-for-living-room-tv-streaming.369432/page-2#post-4936386

Got my new 4K tv. Now to figure out what to do with my 50” Kuro.

Thanks for the tips. I’m waiting for 2020 sets to be launched, then I can list this while I shop for a new set. But I can’t risk going without a living room set for several months. :)

I’m upgrading to 4k this year. This is my living room TV, and I’ll be going from a 50” HD to 65” UHD set. I’ll have nowhere in the house to move / use the Kuro. I’ll sell it if there’s an enthusiast who wants it. Otherwise, wait for the next big e-recycling event and dispose of it.

How did you sell yours? eBay? Craigslist? Forum listing?

I just don’t have a place for a spare 50” TV. So I hope to give it a new home. If I can a few dollars from it, that will help buy all the new 4k electronics I want. :)

I expect to replace my Pioneer Kuro 5020FD 50” plasma this Summer. Is there any resale value for it? Should I bring it to HTF for sale? I need to figure out what I’ll do with it. It’s in great condition. No burn in. I might still have original box.

Next Fall will be ten years, I think, for my pioneer kuro 50”. After a good decade, I hope to retire it, upgrading to 4K. I won’t have any place for it in my house. Is there any resale market for decade old HD plasmas?

I bought it about five years ago. It's a Black and Decker cordless screwdriver, gyro controls so it just spins when you turn it with no button to press. It was at all the hardware stores when I was shopping then.

I bought a rechargeable screwdriver a few years ago, and it was an excellent $30 purchase. I don't do a lot of DIY, but I do enough installing of lights and miscellaneous around the house to be glad for it.

I have a 2009 Kuro 50". I use it like I have the past nine years; nothing special in its care and feeding. I can only hope it lasts until I can upgrade to 4K, which is maybe next year at the earliest.
