plasma is better. crt is still the best.

In my experience, plasma surpassed CRT quality a few years ago. I was a CRT holdout as well, but when we got our 50" Panasonic plasma, and properly calibrated it, the CRT was gone forever. Color fidelity, lack of convergence problems and lack of scan lines has all made plasmas superior. CRTs are still better than LCD, though.
I love my Panny 700U Plasma! That's a 2/3 generation behind what's currently available, and I still don't have any complaints with it's picture quality - in fact it impresses me every time. LCD's on the other hand, I only liked as computer screen, crisp and bright - that's all.
After seeing first 120Hz Bravo sets making movies look like daytime soaps, I can't fathom why would somebody hate themselves so much to a)suffer through watching movies in that manner and b)Pay extra $$ for 120Hz.
I still use an ancient CRT for a number of reasons, none of which are relevant here. I could not reliably tell a difference between a 1080p LCD with 60 and 120Hz refresh. I was happy that I couldn't tell a difference because that would save me money. However, in my fidgety way of not letting go of the shopping part of video, I recently went to a boutique shop and saw LCDs with 60, 120 and 240 hz refresh rates. The 240 was clearly better and in fact was easier to see as better in a video with a slow pan of a solid surface. I'm now disappointed because I can clearly see a difference. Having determined for myself that 240Hz is a technology worth paying for, at least for me, I also saw a Vizio LCD with 240Hz and back lit LED (not side lit), and that's the best I've seen from LCD. Is it better than Plasma? I don't know but Plasma is a no go for me in a bright room with lots of reflections. Just my $0.025 cents worth.
