    Not so odd actually. Human brain 'adapts' to fresh inputs surprisingly quickly /adeptly.
    Even upside images are 'corrected' in a very short time..evidenced through many research efforts
    Does leave the unspoken question: is the casual observers' perception the correct one?? it May not be :-)
    Visuals /TV ain't the only input that's 'sketchy'.
    Clear case in point is what some believe they hear in their Audio systems.
    'nuff said

    I've got one of the last Panasonic plasmas, and it does motion and hd so well and colours aren't too in your face. About 5 years old - vt series. It's still out competes with most LCD and led TVs, especially on motion blur. The oleds are the next biggest thing to go mass market.

    Same here, I have a G model from 2012, just lovely picture quality, and superb with motion, pc and ps4 games look great on it also.
    Won't be any rush to part with it and when I do it will be for an OLED screen far superior to anything else I've seen.

    Not as old as mine: an 18" CRT Mitsubishi, bought in 1982 and still going strong. It's so old it only has a 75Ohm aerial input - no SCART, no HDMI, no remote.

    Will all the plasma and OLED displays still be working in 35 years time? No issues with motion blur either.
