RE: What you call "vivid", I sometimes call "cartoonish".

"I'm not aware of any marketing campaign that informed the public of the value and superior PQ of the current plasmas."

That plasmas are superior across the board is a matter of opinion not fact. And you assume that someone who makes a different choice than you is ignorant and that is not true.

Many of the people buying LCDs are as enthusiastic and knowedgeable about video as you, they just get turned off-on by different things than you. For instance I detect a fine film of noise on good plasmas that I don't see on good LCDs. That noise bothers me far more than motion problems. The LCD TVs I recently bought are noted for their accurate color in movie mode and several plasmas are noted for inaccurate color in any mode.

If I'd wanted a plasma I would have bought one. And I don't need some marketing campaign to tell me what to like.
