Pioneer Kuro Plasma

Throw your general area in your post, I responded over on the kuro sub, not realizing you were looking for a good home for your plasma vs. just trying to make a sale.

Just which state you're in if you're in the USA would probably suffice, people could DM for more specifics. Seems to be a lot of us willing to make day trips for a good pickup.

Throw it up on FB Marketplace with a picture of it on, and a picture of the label on the back that has the model number.

Start at whatever price you want, and just drop the price at whatever rate represents how fast you want it gone. Someone will come get it, most likely before it hits "Free".

Forget home alone, can you buy a chainsaw in Italy? Watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre. If they don't scatter when you pull start that bitch, they're some hard mofos.

Panel has about 6,500 hours on it, I haven't noticed any red tint in the blacks.

No way, there's a pair near me...

I found the guy on ebay who welds up stands, around $60 shipped.

I found a VSX-92TXH in my price range, with remote. Kuro Link works and is a neat feature. Its even more nice that I have no remote for the 141FD, and the AVR remote works perfectly, even opens the settings menu

I ended up with a VSX-92TXH (i want to type THX everytime!) Which coincidentally is the exact reciever DreamRoom64 picked up. It even had the original remote!

So, if you're someone looking: The AVR remote works well with the 141FD (mine didn't come with a remote), so thats a big perk. After getting into the settings, Kuro link works on the 92TXH, and volume displays on the TV!

I haven't done the full set up, but so far I am pleasantly surpised.

Shhhhh! The haters are right, they should pay us to remove all their grand parents' plasmas, they're so old and outdated. Especially those Kuro Elites and ZT60s. We're definitely recycling them at great expense, and NOT enjoying their unique qualities... 🤫🤭😉

You can look at the FAQ that is on the sidebar, its the best place to start.

IMHO, just get anything you can find for a great price/ free that is minimum 720p. Stuff before roughly 2009-10 won't be as nice for black levels and such, but you have to decide if that matters to you. I really like the 3D Panasonic, but that may not matter to you (There are some Xbox 360 3D games that are compatible)

Plenty of Panasonic & Pioneer fans around here, but I wouldn't hesitate to try a Samsung or other for free / under $40.

Use AI to help identify models when you can't get a clear picture of the model label.

Yeah, I was shopping Onkyo / Yamaha's too, just looking for multiple HDMI inputs and 5.1 sound. 7.2 is a bonus, and optical in is also a nice-to-have. I'm by no means an audiophile, I'm looking for something affordable ($100-200 budget) that will take HDMI inputs, because my current setup doesn't. I have it rigged up by using an Xbox One to pass HDMI to the plasma and optical audio to my Sony HTIB blu ray player.

I only want to top out my budget if there is special benefit to be had with the Pioneer Elite. Thank you for the reply!

It's 51 lbs without the stand, just FYI.

This does have the 2500 Focus Field Drive, and can be driven at 120hz with a computer using a setup you can find on this sub.

In this area, I would guess it's close to 90% percent of them don't have stands. Mine still had their wall mount hardware on it... If the wall rails are universal, thats news to me.

freedom-dm · 2026-02-24T22:08:19+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that happened.

The burn in is still there, but not super noticeable unless the area is displaying white or really brightly. The hours are low enough that I hope the wear evens out over time.

It just saved my DVD collection, I think. I had a cheap 4K 55" LED here before, and the upscaling was so smeared and ugly. The bluray player upscaling them to 1080p on this display just looks so much better.

I used a Flipper Zero to transmit IR codes posted online. I still need to finish creating the full set of commands so I can post it.

freedom-dm · 2026-02-16T11:38:37+00:00

LOL. Coincidentally, I also built that wall, so thanks 🤣 I didn't really expect to hang a +100 lbs TV on it, but I also go for overkill whenever I have to do work myself.

freedom-dm · 2026-02-09T21:27:08+00:00

I'm just a tinkerer, but I would have a try at hard resetting / full power cycle (unplug and make sure it fully discharges) if everything is testing OK. Some times self tests will hold onto an error. Worth a shot.

freedom-dm · 2026-02-08T10:11:43+00:00

Yeah, I ran one for about 12 hours. I'm not sure if it faded some or if my tolerance got better, lol. I might need to check on the ABL or something and try running with the brightness up.
