Question by Steve: Used 60 inch Plasma TV worth 0?
My work has a used 60 inch plasma (LG 60pc1dc) for sale for $ 750. I’m not sure if I should buy it. So I’m asking here, is it worth it?
Pros:
Only seen 12 hours use.
Huge screen, of course.
Cons:
It was moved via van once, out of packaging.
It powers up, but I’ve not tested (nor could test) every option/connector.
No remote, no warranty.
Older plasma technology.
About 3 years old, wall mounted, powered down most of the time. Is this an issue?
Newer technology TVs, granted a bit smaller of course, can be purchased all day long for $ 750 – $ 1000. TVs this size are also under $ 2000 now, and are not plasma.
I’m leaning toward a 47 inch that’s brand spankin’ new instead, but if someone here raises their hand and says “Buy it you fool!!” then I want get get that opinion and the reasons.
Thanks

I don’t know the specs for both, but if you can, compare the specs. If they’re both similar, then get the 60 in AFTER you get a chance to try it out.
Turn it on, let it run for about 5-10 minutes. Make sure the picture quality looks fine, there’s no problems with the screen. See if there’s any really dark or really white spots that aren’t supposed to be. Make sure there’s no physical damage that you can see as well (on the screen, if it’s on like the back, don’t worry about it unless it’s a port or something like that).
If you don’t get a chance to try out the television, DO NOT BUY IT even if the person selling it to you keeps saying it’s in really good, top condition. Otherwise you might be wasting money…
Specs to look for is resolution, the higher the number, the better (1920×1080 is true HD, go higher if you want). That’s really it, you can check contrast, but that doesn’t matter very much…
