I still prefer my 4 year old plasma to the LCD TV's I've seen recently for all of the reasons you mentioned.

Additionally, plasma has become more energy efficient and depending on brand / model / size, most dissipate only slightly more heat than LCD's and some are on par. A few are still energy hogs but this is not the norm.

I have yet to see an LCD that doesn't shift color slightly as you move slightly off center to the screen. Try it sometime at a store. It is most noticeable while observing skin tone on a talking head - a close-up of a news broadcaster for example. While much improved vs older sets, this phenomenon peculiar to LCDs still exists today.
