And I'm more bothered by...

...lack of shadow detail and dark blacks with LCDs. I'm not fond of the motion artifacts but they aren't necessarily deal killers for me - all of the above are deal killers, but especially the shadow detail. And the better plasmas do indeed have very good color accuracy - the Kuros are outstanding in that regard. But that's not the only basis for choosing a TV.

I think LCD displays are an excellent choice for many people, especially if they watch a lot of video based source material. Like plasmas, the LCD TVs have improved a ton in the past 5 years. There are compromises and trade-offs whichever technology one chooses - there are no perfect TV displays (although the Kuro plasmas are mighty fine).

However...

For me, who watches a lot of film based material, I prefer the look of a good plasma. By a large margin. And yes I've seen most of the latest and greatest LCD displays. I like them. I just like plasmas better overall.

Different strokes for different folks.
