Plasma tvs are superior in many ways to LCDs when it comes to cinema reproduction. Not only can plasma tv's display a more truer "black", but they also are much more accurate in reproducing fast-motion sequences.

Its not about LCD's being better, its about them being cheaper for the company to produce, maintain, and recycle. Its all about the benjamins baby..]]>May 21st 2007 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/lg-shuts-doors-on-a1-plasma-manufacturing-plant/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/lg-shuts-doors-on-a1-plasma-manufacturing-plant/
Older LCDs had a lot of problems: Washed out colors, digital artifacts etc. But newer ones have none of that. I just picked up a 32" Samsung with 7000:1 contrast and if anything it looked better than the plasmas they had in the store. Same contrast, same brightness, same vivid colors, 178 deg viewing angle (note: 180 is the max.) and much higher resolution.

At the rate LCDs are improving its clear that they will be better than plasmas in all areas next year or the year after so no wonder everyone's getting out of the plasma business. And it's too expensive to make 1080p plasmas so as soon as HD DVD/bluray/HDTV becomes wide-spread plasmas will be completely uninteresting.]]>May 21st 2007 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/lg-shuts-doors-on-a1-plasma-manufacturing-plant/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/lg-shuts-doors-on-a1-plasma-manufacturing-plant/May 22nd 2007 2:44PM
