Is Plasma Still King?

I've been reading in the HT rags that LCD's have come on strong lately with a lot of their short comings resolved.

Maybe it's just me but a visit to my local HT electronics mega-store convinced me that Plasma is still king. The picture was better saturated, had better depth, blacker blacks, seemed more natural, etc.

LCD was better than a couple years ago but still a little bit of color shift if not viewed pretty much head-on. Colors were good but didn't have the depth or clean edges I see in Plasma. They were almost pastel, pasty, and flat compared to Plasma.

Supposedly LCD is brighter with better contrast, right? At least to my eyes, the Plasma sets had LCD's beat in this respect too. Of course, the setup was in low ambient lighting. Things might be different in a bright living room.

I compared several different sets and various brands but in general, I found Plasma to be the best in terms of over all picture quality.

Your thoughts?
