Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

And I'm more bothered by...

...lack of shadow detail and dark blacks with LCDs. I'm not fond of the motion artifacts but they aren't necessarily deal killers for me - all of the above are deal killers, but especially the shadow detail. And the better plasmas do indeed have very good color accuracy - the Kuros are outstanding in that regard. But that's not the only basis for choosing a TV.

I think LCD displays are an excellent choice for many people, especially if they watch a lot of video based source material. Like plasmas, the LCD TVs have improved a ton in the past 5 years. There are compromises and trade-offs whichever technology one chooses - there are no perfect TV displays (although the Kuro plasmas are mighty fine).

However...

For me, who watches a lot of film based material, I prefer the look of a good plasma. By a large margin. And yes I've seen most of the latest and greatest LCD displays. I like them. I just like plasmas better overall.

Different strokes for different folks.
