The positives of plasma TV's are just too great to ignore: better contrast, better handling of motion, cheaper cost per square inch, and just plain better picture quality. LCD's are better for the computer.]]>Nov 3rd 2007 11:42AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/Nov 3rd 2007 12:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/Nov 3rd 2007 12:38PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/Nov 3rd 2007 5:45PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/
Its such an exaggeration. More LCD models are offered by stores/manufactures - obviously MORE sold than plasma (they're cheaper to produce - duh) - which is why so many LCD ego's will never admit they likely paid more and have an inferior pic compared to plasma owners. So the plasma bashers will always be around.

I have a Sony LCD, great pic, when you're in the perfect view angel and not to close. My Pioneer 4280 plasma (cheaper, I got a GREAT DEAL luckily) blows the Sony away, its no contest. I know the difference, my previous Panasonic plasma was fabulous also. I tell any HD shopper searching to start with plasma 1st (panasonic) - not surprising they always agree that the LCD is inferior.]]>Nov 3rd 2007 1:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/Nov 3rd 2007 5:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/Nov 3rd 2007 7:20PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/Nov 4th 2007 12:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/displaysearch-forecasts-bright-future-for-plasma-displays/
I watch movies/concerts almost 100% in a dark-room environment, and no matter how low I set my LCD picture settings, the blacks look so lame [compared to plasma], with "grayish" blacks, and poor color accuracy.

Now that 50" (Panasonic) plasmas have finally become affordable [under $2000 for select 720p and 1080p models], I'm getting anxious to buy my first plasma and move the LCD to the office.

LCDs [with traditional CCFL bulbs] just have no place in a serious "lights out" home theater environment. However, the newer LED-lighted LCDs will probably do quite well, but these are at a premium price right now (until next year when more companies will have LED models).]]>Nov 4th 2007 3:25PM
