Interesting point explained, cheers Samuel. 
The 2004 Sony CRT I have has noticeably more flicker than the flat panel i have.

What I find bizarre is, don’t quote me, I may be wrong lol but my understanding is, and what I’ve read is that all these types of QLED, OLED, LED, TVs are basically fundamentally a variant based on LCD TVs!!  None of which are meant to have a better picture quality then Plasma’ TVs and especially when it comes to reproducing’ Blacks’ or dark colours!
which to me sounds a bit backwards, to stop making Plasmas’ even though they were heavier, used more electricity and maybe didn’t last as many years! But hey who keeps a tv for years, nowadays anyway! Guess I do miss my old Samsung plasma..

The first LCD I got was rubbish on blacks, any dark scenes just went totally black with no contrast..

Saying that though, the first plasma I got in 2004 Twas a 42’ LG!  At the time I was more impressed with the size of the screen then the picture qual!  But come to  think about it the picture was crap compared to later plasma models! But still, at the time it was much better than my previous tele’ which was a ridiculous projection tv! In which you had to periodically Manually focus the picture in otherwise it would literally go blurred on ya in each corner of the screen! You did this by pressing a button to make the screen go white, they then were 9 green balls That would appear in each corner and in the middle, with 9 red balls adjacent to them! So the object of the exercise was with Numerous buttons on the remote, one had to line or cover up the green balls with the red balls lol so if ya did it right you were just left with 9 red balls in theory, with the green balls glowing underneath. This concept was not very good for OCD, and in the end of endless messing, ya didn’t know if you were p***ed or the tv! But at the time, if one wanted a big tv then the only option was a projection tv!
even if it meant literally Having a huge box in ya front room which resembled a Punch & Judy theatre lol!!!!
what I will remember though is the buzz I got when I first got this tele, and for the first time watched the Sweeney series on a huge 60” screen..
