In my opinion, LCDs seem to give less reflections in the screen in a bright room than plasmas, and in a very low light, plasmas seem to give more realistic colours and better detail.

However, and again this is just my personal opinion, they BOTH suck at detail available in dark parts of the image. Oh, some are better than others, but to me it looks like anything approaching black, and the detail just disappears, leaving a nothing but a black blob.

I'm hoping those news ones with the LED backlighting instead of flourescent are better, but no new TV for me till they solve that issue. I mean why fork out over a thousand bucks (depending on quality, features, and screen size) just to take two steps back in image quality!?

No thank you.
