***I haven't seen a direct view TV yet that didn't display an annoying (to me) presence of lines, blurring, crispies or other artifacts. In comparison, this Plasma screen is like looking through a window.

Rich, this description makes me feel that they didn't show you the progressive scan picture on a good digital-ready tube set.

The things you mention are not present on good digital TV's - I wish I could show you the near film-like smoothness of the Toshiba tube, for example.

However, in that category you will see limilar performance between the plasma and tube. The biggest differences will be in the areas of color purity, brilliance, contrast and three-dimensional depth, where the tube is simply light years ahead.

All that presumes good source material, of course. If you go to the store, request that they connect a reasonable progressive scan DVD to the TV, and bring some good quality demo with you - depending upon your taste you might try things like Run Lola Run, All About My Mother or Lost in Space - all these would push any TV to the limit of its capability.

***So, either you and I haven't been looking at the same top-quality plasma screens,

That IS possible, of course, but I thought I have seen pretty much every display out there. Sure enough, there will be differences between different plasma units, but I was talking about the fundamental issues with that technology that apply to all units.

*** or beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That of course is true. And plasma units ARE sexy.

Best of luck in your search.
