And the true blacks within the viewing area just make everything else pop and brings up all sorts of subtle shadow detail you can't see on other technologies. Pause a plasma on a black cut scene, and it gives enough glow to see around the room. Pause an OLED and you can't even see the screen is on.
I have a similar setup a panasonic vt 2013. I agree on the blacks. My lg is much better. What I wish i had more was HDR. Gaming with HDR is fantastic.

That said the plasma I have is definitely better than the Sony XBR (from era that meant something) set we have. Plasma would still be top tier if oled wasn’t available
