Re: Compelling reason NOT to go plasma?


Screen reflections is by far their biggest issue in my opinion - once you go LCD, it's very hard to watch anything with a reflective screen. Susceptibility to burn-in during the display's first several hundred hours is another issue, especially if you watch a fair amount of non-stretched SD content. Pixel fill rate is an issue that bothers me a bit - if you look closely at a plasma vs an LCD, the pixels are more rounded off on a plasma, creating more black space between pixels. Lastly, to my eyes at least, a plasma picture just doesn't "pop" as much as that from a LCD.
