I own a Panasonic TX-42PX60U plasma display made in Nov. 2006, and yes, the display works almost like a modern CRT, at least when hooked up to a CLD-R7G through S-video. The display itself cannot display every color NTSC can display, for example the attack scene from Stagecoach (1939) [35078] has magenta-ish colors on the display in spite of it being black-and-white whereas the Mitsubishi CRT I also have displayed it with no problems, but it perhaps is my preferred way to watch a digitally-mastered LD; the colors are warmer and are more in-line with the D65 color temp standard than the CRT in S-video. However, I noticed when playing older analog-mastered discs, like Badlands (1973) [11135 LV] and surprisingly Abyss, The (1989) [1561-85], the color is better on the CRT. Too green for my tastes on the plasma. It really depends on the mastering of each title.

I use a Samsung Smart TV, which suits my needs. The picture is clear, and it's been reliable for both watching shows and playing games. It's cool because it connects to the internet quickly and has apps built into it, which is super handy for streaming stuff. I've been using IPTV kopen to watch shows and movies. It costs 15 euros a month, but they gave subscriptions, and I paid 99 euros for a whole year. With this, I can access over 7,000 channels and many movies in excellent quality, like HD and 4K. Plus, I can watch it anywhere, which is great when I'm out, and it works on different things, like my TV and phone.

CLD-2950 -> Marantz 6014 -> LG OLED 77CX9LA Pretty decent picture even with the large screen if set up correctly. However I would love to watch on an old WS Bravia HD CRT like zeta, but lack the space (dedicated room) for yet another stupid hobby. Cheers, Markus

I've got a 50" Panasonic VIERA. Can't (really) complain with full-frame LDs (via composite).

My main display is a Sony XR-77A80J 77-inch OLED set. Laser discs, even a letterboxed one zoomed in to fill the screen, look quite good on the Sony.
But I still have my Sony XBR Pro (PVM-2530) 25-inch monitor from the 1990s, that was an excellent screen for watching laser discs. And, several restored early TV sets such as RCA CTC-16, CTC-4, 8TS30, Motorola VT-71, RCA CT-100 and many others waiting for restoration.
