If your plasma stops turning on it could be cause of the age of the capacitors in the power supply or circuit board. They can bulge and stop working when they get old. Pretty easy to change for a repair person.

Had the same tv’s in the past. Ended with the Sony Bravia X950G. My eyes were grateful to me. I can enjoy my TV for hours, just like my old plasma. Model 2020 =X950H.

I don't now how I missed all of these replies. I went the UST route. No regrets. No more eye strain regarding a TV "replacement."

I'm not out of the woods though. I have the same issue I did with the OLED TV with newer apple devices. I tried the iPad Pro 11 (2021) and had to return it. My old iPhone X and iPad Pro 10.5 from 2017 are all fine. What's odd is the iPhone X is OLED.

I'm talking from a standpoint of now knowing, but my dive into reading about temporal dithering may shed some light on some of these newer devices.

    That is correct. I got the Epson LS500. I wanted to avoid color wheels in the case they affect me as well.

        That looks pretty fancy. What does looking at a screen look like with something like this compared to a regular backlight display?

            I don't have any good technical terms to use to describe it, but I will say that it's very pleasant and natural looking. I was a bit nervous initially, but I knew it wasn't in my mind within moments of watching content on it. The bonus for this projector is the latency is low and it is good for gaming. It's been a win/win. I'm very happy with it. I have to give credit for a person on a forum that suggested projection. It was a sanity saver.

            So my TV situation has a remedy. I just hope I find a solution for phones and tablets.

                Hey Clokwork, I know I'm late to the party here, but I have exactly the same issue as you. I had to return my IPhone 12 after a week and a TV I bought in 2020. Very frustrating and I'm constantly looking for answers. I have thought about buying a projector for a while now and I'm glad to see it's worked for you!

                Went to give it another shot this week with the 13 to see if there were any differences or if this is really all in my head but I still feel the weird effects. It starts in the eyes, and then my head starts to feel sluggish and I don't feel like myself after using it for not even 5-10 mins. I'm generally a very driven person with passion for what I need to do, but after having this phone for 3 days I'm going to return it because I feel so off. The effects stay with me through the day because I need to use my phone, but it's almost like it zaps any energy I have and puts me in this unwell mental health state. I'm an actor so I need my focus and have a few important events coming up that I need to be on point for.

                Anyway here's to finding alternative solutions!

                    I haven't yet. I have held off since this was the only TV that had caused any issues… until Apple entered the chat.

                    I have not but I have perfect vision. Possibly better than 20/20, literally hawk eyes. What is binocular vision dysfunction exactly?

                        There is many of us here that have 20/20 vision, this eye strain problem is something else.
