My LX508D Pioneer Kuro Plasma went bang last night

chaparral · 21 Aug 2022 at 21:05

My pioneer LX508D plasma went off with a huge bang last night which i think was caused by the PSU in it failing (It now flashing a 2 red light error code)
Am pretty pleased with how long it lasted

But wish i of looked at how many hours it had done before it died..

Looks like i bought it on 11 Oct 2007 going by my post on the AVforums https://www.avforums.com/threads/pioneer-pdp-lx508d-owners-thread.614834/page-25#post-5640549

LG's New 97-Incher Is The Largest OLED TV Screen Ever Made

LG has just announced a 97-inch OLED TV, which would be the largest OLED ever made. The reveal took place as part of CES 2022.

Also I'd upgrade your Kef 500 speakers, and your Pioneer AVR

Thinking of buying a 65" sony A95K to replace it and really want the Kef T305 speaker setup
Yes i want a AVR that supports 4K 120hz

Was really hoping to wait till next year for the Sony OLED's to get four 2.1 hdmi inputs instead of the two they have now, I may yet just pickup a cheap TV and wait

T305 are small little speakers with 4" drivers and very limited frequency response, I'd buy something else

HDMI 2.1 is useful for gaming, if you're just into movies HDMI 2.0 is fine.

If you get an amp with a decent amount of 2.1 ports, the amount in the tv doesn't matter.

hornetstinger · 22 Aug 2022 at 09:16

Yeah you only need one on the tv. Six or more are common with decent avrs

That's bigger than my projector screen. You'd never get that telly in through most peoples front doors, yet some wouldn't care, they'd buy said size telly just for the lulz

Parent's panny plasma from 2008 still going strong. I really do wonder if it'll last forever.

Was amazing TV for many years but these days OLED screens really knock it for six with there jet blacks, HDR, 4K, 120hz gaming, Larger sizes, 4 hdmi inputs, being smart TV's etc etc which makes it a total waste of money repairing it.

5090 is 1080 I have one

My mistake

, i was thinking of the older 508xd which was only 1365 x 768

Pioneer 508XD 50in Plasma TV

Is this the best plasma TV ever made? John certainly thinks so.
