I am looking for a 50+ inch plasma tv for semi-retro gaming. I have some consoles that I want to hook up and I don't want to deal with smart bullshit and I would like something semi period correct. Does anyone have a recommendation? I remember Pioneer being really nice back in the early 00s but I never knew anyone who had one long term. Is this a terrible idea?

Commercial displays aren't great for gaming due to latency and refresh rate. Commercial signage displays don't care about either, so you're not going to get a good result.

I'm on team "get a smart tv and don't give it Internet access". Only complaint I have about my LG C5 ID that switching HDMI inputs is ever so slightly more cumbersome than on my old Samsung.
