If they were 'greenish', then they were not properly set up. I have noticed a lot of the Pionners looking 'greenish' at BB. I dont know what that is all about, but I know the Panasonic I purchased certainly doenst have a 'greenish' cast. Whites are very pure, and I think as far as brightness goes, a plasma can pretty much keep up with an LCD. However, high brightness levels usually arent the way you end up using them at home. After adjusting the units for best picture quality, you can then have a much better judgement of capabilities. You can pick up a calibration disk for cheap, or google for the proper settings. Few big box retailers have the units properly adjusted for image quality, or even know how to set them up.

Even as misscalibrated as the demo sets we viewed may have been I think we were seeing a general difference in the two technologies that is mentioned in the excerpt from a review. In the end it's as you say, getting the set home and enjoying the picture IS the bottom line. Compared to what we're watching now that difference should be stunning.
From Home Theater November 2007 by Thomas J. Norton:
Some 1080p LCDs can look a little sharper and "quieter." This was true of the Sharp AQUOS LC-52D64U I just reviewed; look at a plasma screen from up close and you can often see the pixels "dithering," which is not characteristic of LCDs. But from a normal viewing distance there simply doesn't seem to be anything missing in the Pioneer's picture. Its response does fall off a bit at the very highest frequencies (see "Measurements"), but I suspect that most HD program material falls off even faster. I've been living with the PDP-6010FD for two weeks, and I still find its overall sense of detail, on the right program material, breathtaking.
Yes, up close to the Panasonic I see the 'dithering' as well. You dont want to sit too close. At typical user distances, though, you dont see it at all. LCD's dither also. We have a 37" LG LCD we got for the kids to play thier Wii on, and added a DVD player to it. Up close, you can see the same type of 'dithering' going on on it too. I think this is typical for all HD displays, as thier upconverting algorithms process the information they recieve. But again, at typical user distances, it fades into the background.
