Is that it, there must be a lot of muppets buying TVs if thats the case, just shows that 99% of the population don't do any research, i don't know why but surely there is more to it than that?
LCD has become synonymous with HDTV for a lot of people. When I tell people that I bought a 1080p plasma, they ask me "Why not an LCD?"
I try to explain to them that the black levels and colors are deeper and richer and that the response times are almost non-existent. I usually get blank stares after that.
People know what LCD is, they are familiar with it and they understand it. You see LCD technology everywhere. In our cars, cell phones, ATM machines, TVs, computer monitors, PDAs, etc. etc. Plasmas are only in one market, televisions, and the only things people know about Plasma are the myths (burn-in, brightness life, panel life, etc.). People are unfamiliar with Plasma and are therefore afraid of it until it's explained to them by someone who knows what they're talking about, in other words not a salesman at Best Buy.

OK, so all BS aside, what is the attraction to LCD, why is it so dominant????
It usually looks better (or just brighter) in the light blasting store.
