RE: Display Quality, What Am I Missing?

LCDs tend to be a lot brighter than a plasma as you can plainly see. For viewing in a very well lite environment. like a showroom floor that may be a plus.

For home use I find the slightly muted brightness of plasmas to be easier on the eyes and also yields better gradations of black, the typical downfall of many flat panel displays. Next time, try taking a rather 'dark' movie and compare each presentation for shadow details. Movies like Batman Begins is a good choice as the film quality is quite dark: check for small details in folds of the cape and details in the shadow. Ultimately that will give you better satisfaction in long term usage as most home situations are not as bright as a showroom.

Of course YMMV,
