Re: Plasma? LCD?

I bought a Sharp LCD, which was very nice but didn't allow access to an advanced menu so it couldn't be calibrated. I replaced it with a Panasonic 37-inch plasma on the advice of an ISF calibrator, and the thing is in another league, picture-wise (it was also $600 more). If you can stand the 100-200 hours of break-in, during which you can't watch anything with sidebars and need the contrast and brightness turned down, you'll be rewarded with a stunning picture. You don't need to be right in the sweet spot as you do with an LCD, either. The LCD was sharper (more pixels), but it's almost like the difference in resolution between LPs and CDs. It just seems more natural and less fatiguing to view.
