Surprised to hear this from you Jim! Being a director I would think you more informed on visual quality. It is a well know FACT that plasmas have a better picture. And have for almost a decade. You really only need to google a few reviews to see that. I don't need to debate it with you since it's common knowledge. Contrast range and color reproduction both are better on plasma and LCDs can't even do black very well. For picture quality its CRT>Plasma>LCD

That being said those of us (who are not directors) will often like the plasticness of high frame rates and artificial colors on tvs that have less glare in a lit room with windows and such. I have a light controlled room so that is less of an issue for me in may main theater room but LCDs by design are easier to watch in a room with lots of light and reflections.

That being said if you want a quality image put a plasma and a LCD side by side in a dark living room and the plasma with have way more depth, better color, and more contrast.
