I'm obviously not part of "the rest of us".

Two years ago I'd have agreed with you 100%. After 2 months of looking at HD displays of various kinds, I'd say that unless you're going to buy a high quality FP, there are compromises to be made with any current HD displays. If you think there aren't any compromises with the Loewe, think again. It's only a 38" screen, it's extremely heavy, has only one HD component input and it has a curved tube.

CRT, RP, DV, plasma, DLP, LCD...each has advantages and disadvantages.

The better plasmas on the market excell with HD content. They look very good to me, and while I'm no engineer, I'm fairly critical. Plasmas, of course, have their compromises, and they're relatively pricey. But one can buy a darned good looking Panny 42" for under $3800. That's competetive with RP and a Loewe Aconda, not to metion 200lbs lighter than the Loewe.

If you don't like plasmas, fine. Different strokes for different folks. But they're hardly "junk".
