Nothing beats a plasma, period. Everything else is a compromise on picture quality. Those whose decor dictates that their TV viewing be done only in a bright room and can only put a TV opposite a bank of windows should get black out shades or curtains. Picture quality is worth darkening the room for, afterall, would you go to a theater and expect the lights on or the exit doors open? No. Those who do will never weep the higher enlightenment of a plasma's picture quality. To them, convience is all that matters, not ultimate picture quality. Even if you have three tall windows to the left of the plasma as I do in the family room, there's no reflections interfering with the image. Go plasma, you will never regret it. Just keep placement in mind. The superior black level of plasmas increase the contrast of the picture creating a much more realistic picture than that of any LCD with its grayish blacks, even the latest sets. I never experienced burn in and that's after hours of watching widescreen movies with black bars and playing video games, the burn in issue is NOT an issue on plasmas. However, the salesguy who makes more commission on the sale of an LCD will try to convince you burn in will kill a plasma so you better buy an LCD and help him pay his rent in the process. It'll be years before another techonolgy comes out and be cheap enough to afford, so for now, PLASMA IS KING! And a 65" Panny is INCREDIBLE! I KNOW! I HAVE ONE!
