... However I also think it had to do with size irrespective of PQ.
I have a really good 17â€ CRT computer monitor in the store room. It probably has a slightly better over-all PQ than the LCD computer monitor Iâ€™m using now. But, I much prefer the 25â€ monitor on my desk now. I can split the screen and do more things at once simply because it is bigger.
For me the principle is the same with HT viewing. I donâ€™t care if the 34â€ CRT possibly has a better PQ because I discern far more enjoyment from watching a 55â€ plasma screen. Size really does matter. :o)
I think LCD panels have a far greater potential of higher returns on capital invested, compared to plasma, and as such manufacturers are following the perceived greater potential return. Economies of scale seemed to have benefited LCD technology more so than plasma technology.
I think picture quality has little to do with the LCD versus plasma debate. Issues such as heat, power consumption & screen reflections seemed to be an issue with most people. Curiously none of those issues are a consideration for me & irrespective if they were I find plasma technology superior for my use. To me, it simply looks better to my eyes.
