LCDs have a lot of ergonomic advantages over plasma. I have a few, but they are all for non-critical viewing, because that's all they are good for. I have yet to see an LCD TV that has accurate colors, and the artifacts drive me crazy when I'm trying to get "drawn in" to a movie.

Unfortunately most people seem to prefer their TV pictures to be ultra-bright and more colorful than real life. It's really too bad. Guess I should buy a newer plasma to replace my aging Loewe plasma bedroom TV before the technology is completely gone.

Even some of the better LCD screens appear "pasty" to me compared to plasma. The plasma sets also appear to have depth while many LCDs seem flat. Additionally, as you move slightly off axis vs head-on with an LCD screen, the image seems to change slightly and gets worse the more off axis you go. I don't notice this at all with plasma.

All the hot new tv technologies we were promised three years ago? Laser-lcd's and organic led's and all that stuff.

Hell, Sony doesn't even make lcd-projectors anymore. That's a tech I far prefer to lcd.

If you don't like lcd tv's these days you're going to have trouble finding a tv.

I bought a 46" Sony lcd about a year ago. Turned it on....gee, what's that funny stuff on the screen. Yup. Clouding. Sony said they could 'adjust' the set, but couldn't fix it. It went back.

I really love my 50" Panasonic plasma. I really want to like LCD too, but I have never seen one that can equal the plasma for accurate colors. I had better grab the Panasonic 58" soon, if the plasma industry is going to dissappear.
