Every printer I’ve bought has been ■■■■. The cheaper you buy the more you spend on ink.
Just put files on a stick and print at office works. Proper quality too
But I can’t go to officeworks at 3am when I can’t sleep and I want to print a recipe…

I bought a Canon wireless printer (scan/copy) at Woolies on a half price special for 30 bucks or so. It’s a ripper, prints wireless from Laptop, phone etc. Ink is dear if you don’t do the refill trick, and it would be cheaper to buy another one at that price, but I rarely use it so am years away from worrying about that.

A problem I found out much to my annoyance is that if you don’t use it off enough, the ink dries out and its ■■■■■■.

Good tip. Should use it once a month I’d reckon. Will run a page off today.

I’ve had many, many printers over the years and like everyone will tell you - it’s the ink that costs.
What will you be using it for?
If just for general stuff, I have two EP-3700’s (office/home) that use refillable ink tanks. Has saved a huge amount in cartridges. Easy to fill. Had them for about 1.5 years now, no issues. Had researched quite a bit beforehand.

I still have my Panasonic plasma from 2010. It’s done 17,000 hours and going strong.
I plugged an energy meter on it… It draws about 300W when displaying an average picture
What do LED or oleds draw?

Yeah I know. I would prefer one where I can refill the ink cartridges rather than getting new ones. I’ll make a trip to officeworks and start sussing things out.
I still have a 2007 Panasonic plasma, but never use it anymore. A number of years ago l put an energy meter on it and compared it with a lcd panasonic l bought, and it was using 3 times the power from memory.
Dunno, but this website suggests 70% less?
I just bought based on energy stars
Yeah I don’t trust marketing… I’m sure the data is somewhere on the net
i’ve still got my 52" panasonic plasma tv, remember when i bought it people were telling me not to buy one because it would wear out after 5-6 years, buy lcd it was better all round. yet most LCD panels i saw at the time had fuzzy or washed out images and if you were just a bit off centre much worse.
14 years later and it is just starting to break down now, after taking an absolute hammering. faint blue dots appearing on screen on some skin coloured tones. time to retire the champ and get a new TV.
Looking to purchase a 65" TV, seems to be the right size for the space.
Budget is probably around $1500-$2000, there are a lot of options in this price range.
Any models that people love, or any that I should avoid?
ever see a battery powered device with a plasma screen?
LEDs use a ■■■■ ton less energy.
Scroll up, it’s the main topic in this thread.
Dunno, I did read some tech article a month or two back that really rated the ‘LG NanoCell’ TVs if you look them up?
Just a really really nice telly and I think you can get em in your price range.
Any recommendations of what brand/model air fryer is good to get?
