If, as you say black levels are so close, to a Kuro there's still the motion blur issue, no?. Like the Betamax, the demise of the plasma is due, in part, to its marketing not its performance. Plasma=$$$, I'm not aware of any marketing campaign that informed the public of the value and superior PQ of the current plasmas. I'm guessing the margins are much greater producing LCD's. Letting the plasma go seems to be good business sense.

Until something much better comes along rather than simply as good as a plasma, I'm glad I've got mine. After growing up with Howdy Doody, twin lead, horizontal hold, and the Trinitrons, by comparison my Elite is simply stunning and it could easily be the last TV I'll need.

That plasmas are superior across the board is a matter of opinion not fact. And you assume that someone who makes a different choice than you is ignorant and that is not true.

Many of the people buying LCDs are as enthusiastic and knowedgeable about video as you, they just get turned off-on by different things than you. For instance I detect a fine film of noise on good plasmas that I don't see on good LCDs. That noise bothers me far more than motion problems. The LCD TVs I recently bought are noted for their accurate color in movie mode and several plasmas are noted for inaccurate color in any mode.

If I'd wanted a plasma I would have bought one. And I don't need some marketing campaign to tell me what to like.

  Well, I'm glad I didn't rely on your ability to detect that fine film noise or notably inaccurate plasm color, instead relying on the many technically measured reviews and my own two eyeballs. My plasma simply blows away my LCD.
  
  What ever you want to watch is fine with me. Like everybody else here I'm just shareing my experience and opinion.
