there are a few MAJOR and (at least to me) important advantages to really good LCD. Screen burn is eliminated, and ambient light reflections are for the most part completely eliminated as well. The need for a darkened room is no more, and that's really cool. Of course, I have been into HDTV for a long time, and my first set (a Mitsu 55-in CRT based rear projection set) had a lovely picture but the screen reflected virtually everything. Drove me crazy. My new 55-in SONY LCoS SXRD (the A2000, an LCD variant) reflects virtually nothing. To my eyes, the pictures are pretty close between plasma and LCD - enough so that for me anyway, these other attributes win out. YMMV, however.

Cheers, Joe
