Probably a stupid Plasma vs LCD/LED question

Posted by Rod H. on January 21, 2011 at 10:03:28:
First, I own a Panasonic commercial plasma and love it.

Here's my question though. If plasmas have deeper black levels than LDCs, why is it that when I look at all the displays side by side at, for example Walmart, the black levels on the Plasmas look poor?

Is it because of the bright lighting level of the store, and all the sets are turned way up to torch mode? Are the plasmas adjusted wrong intentionally (or unintentionally)? Both?

This has been bugging me for some time. Thanks in advance.
