My rooms are not very bright so plasmas are just right for me. But I use LCD & plasma, seem about the same to me.

For the average user it really comes down to this. If you have a room with alot of ambient light - go with an LCD/LED. If you have a dark room, or can control the lighting, go with a Plasma.

Exactly. Colors on LCD, especially LED, look fake. That's what sold my parents on plasma when they saw the two next to each other in the store. Plasma looks real.

My preferences are LG then Samsung for LED TVs. However, do you need a smart TV or one without such a feature? What HD devices do you have that will hook up to this TV as well?

There was a recession & since plasmas can cost more, it makes sense they wouldn't be selling as many. They don't make small Plasmas, so you need to buy small LCDs, this also could account for sales.

It's happened before. BetaMax was better than VHS in every way, but because of stupid Marketing tomfoolery, the rest is history. If we end up with a vast majority of LCD's, my eyes will hurt.
