Why are LCDs more popular than plasma?

Guys....it's IMAGE RETENTION, not Burn-in!

...and, if a Plasma TV is properly broken-in for the first 200-300 hrs, you will NOT experience image retention issues.

The people that bitch about this....either don't own one, and read it somewhere, or watch Headline News on their plasma in torch mode, 24/7. Break 'em in, use actual watchable settings....enjoy.

I break mine in with a disc, then I can watch any channel I want, as long as I want to...no issues.

If you're a movie fan, LCD doesn't cut it...period.

Like most absolute universal statements, Stevecham and Soundqcar, overstate the case. Some plasmas do movies better than some LCD. I doubt either is qualified to make such absolute universal judgements.

In my experinece, the advantages of plasma are size and price; the advantages of LCD are lower weight and power consumption. The top of the line units of either technology have splendid picture quality if viewed from a position reasonably in front of the set.

I like the plasma as well and IMO the only choice is the Pioneer Elite, a little pricey- but worth every penny.

Dbphd...

I've had both...and currently have both. Pioneer Kuro,Samsung LCD.

You can pontificate all you like, I am speaking from experience with both formats.

I was simply tired of listening to people make assumptions towards Plasma, when it's readily apparent they don't have the first clue what they're talking about.

Yeah, Soundqcar, that's was exactly I was talking about: universal conclusions from particular premises.
