Not really, it's more a question of which imperfection is least annoying.

Each user really needs to get into a store and put the things side by side and run a comparison to see which technology types have tradeoffs which seem worse to them.

My Sharp Aquos is a very nice LCD but it exhibits motion blur among other minor problems. It makes an ultra sweet computer monitor in my living room though. Try this experiment: hook it to your PC grab a small window and move it around with the mouse...does it have smoothly regenerating edges and does the text stay clear while it is in motion. Not on my Aquos it doesn't.

My cousins plasma (can't remember brand) was getting burn in problems. He bought it after seeing mine all hooked up to my PC, brought it home and hooked it to his PC. He ended up taking it back that week and trading it in for an LCD.

My buddies Mitsubishi DLP seems to exhibit unnoticeable motion blur and how bright the edges are is really a function of the optics. As I said in my post below the new mits DLP's are sweet. Personally I would never even notice the brightness problems and the thing has no motion blur. Too me they are second only to the CRT's. This would likely be my choice if I were in the market right now. Edit: running the window moving test I mentioned above yielded most satisfactory results on my buddies Mits DLP.

In summary: it's all about which tradeoff turns you off the least.
