Thanks, Joe, both for answering my question and saying it wasn't stupid!

...alas, it's just hard to analyze displays in stores, especially big box stores. They're all set in torch mode, fed with crappy signals, lighting is often glaring and so on.
The blacks are getting better on LCDs, but also beware that the contrast is often hyped up on display models.
You can't tell what you're looking at until you get into the menus and look at the settings - you really can't. Look for the remotes!!
Also, while the blacks are better on LCDs, the grey scale is nothing to write home about...despite some improvement that's still better on most plasmas. I care about shadow detail as much as anything since I watch films like LOTR, Master & Commander, Dark City et al.
Panasonic also makes LCD sets. Maybe the one you saw in the store was a LCD?
The original poster mentioned Walmart, but the one Panasonic display they sell, an LCD, is Not Sold in Stores .
The Panasonic I saw at Walmart was definitely a plasma set. I don't remember the model #, but will check it next time I'm in the store and post it. It's a 50" and very cheap, in part because it's only 720P.I just looked online, and it's probably the TC-P50C2
