The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.

@Ghostdoggy,
It is usually the LCD manufactures lying about CR, because of the technologies inability to produce good CR.
So basically what you are saying is that most people don't watch their displays in a room at night. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm usually at work when the sun is out and I usually watch TV in the evenings when it's dark out -- weekends depending on football season. And unless the lights in your living room are mercury lights like at the big box stores, just about everyone will appreciate the improved CR of plasmas.
But of course LCDs look better than plasmas under bright lights and since all the big box stores have bright lights, they understandably sell better.
