REAL TVs have TUBES!

I just don't think the plasma has a good a picture as an LCD, or even a tube. Just my preference. It's true they've improved the blacks, and the lifespan, but the whites are still dazzling and silverish, like a bad VHS tape played on a weak tube. Also, they suck up the current like there's no tomorrow, and you better open the window if you don't want to heat the room up. And another beef: They're heavier than LCDs. *Granted; not as heavy as a flat CRT. Another pro for plasma is that they're cheaper inch-for-inch than LCD, but that saving is quickly lost in power bills.

Believe me, my wife can easily afford any TV she wants, but we have all CRT TVs. It's a STRONG preference!
