BV ...
I'm not looking to piss with you brother ... not at all
It's just that your info on plasma's is very circa 2005 ...
3rd-gen plasma screens do NOT have burn-in issues (unless maybe you leave the screen on the same image for like a year maybe), and with 15000:1 contrast ratios, you cannot tell me they don't rival (or blow away) the best LCDs. In the past plasma screens fell short on maximum resolution, but now 1080i is pretty much the standard that all new plasma flat panels are displaying natively.
Plasma displays have ALWAYS had a better black reproduction than LCDs too!
If you put a Plasma side-by-side with an LCD viewing a movie with alot of warm, brilliant colors in it, the Plasma is going to kick some LCD ass, sorry to say ...
If you had said the exact same things in 2005, I would have agreed with you whole-heartedly man, but Samsung and Matsushita (Panasonic) had invested far too much into plasma to let it be upstaged ...
In late 2005, both companies (along with PIONEER) pooled their resources to further develop plasma, and now plasma holds it's own against LCD very well!
