Why are LCDs more popular than plasma?

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

I completely agree with the original poster. Plasma's image quality is so much better than LCD (and DLP) that there is hardly even a discussion. Colors are so much more vivid, contrast is so much better, blacks. If you want that "looking through a window" experience, then plasma is the only option.

Not to say that LCDs don't have their place, though. Airport monitors, business presentation screens, and that sort of a thing is better with LCD because of the image retention/burn-in issues with static images. In a HT though, it's either plasma, or front projection for bigger sizes.

Last week I got to watch Master & Commander on new Pioneer Elite plasma, a Panny plasma and a Sony LCD...NO comparison.

The LCD had some nice qualities and if you were not a critical watcher you would probably be pleased. But it still didn't do blacks all that well and the shadow detail was...lacking.

The Panny was pleasing, blacker blacks, but the Pio was, well, let's just say I'm lusting after that unit. Best blacks, color fidelity and shadow detail I've seen from a plasma.

What's a Panny?
