No surprise. TVs on display at Costco don't do the TVs justice. It's gotten to the point now where it's more a matter personal taste rather than one being better than the other with all things equal. Plasma TVs do some things better than LCDs and vice-versa. It's much easier on the eyes to watch a movie on a good LCD than a plasma because you aren't looking at the light source on an LCD, therefore it's a softer image. Plasma's picture is more clinical because you are looking directly at the illuminated phosphor. They are like the metal dome tweeters of TV. Initially impressive, but after a while they can be a bit fatiguing.
LCDs don't look so good until they are properly set-up (just use the instructions on any THX movie like those from Pixar etc). Then they can look very impressive. Much less reflection too. Reflection is a TVs Kryptonite.
