Only a single poster mentioned the lower power consumption of LCDs v plasma. I find that distrubing. It suggests weening folks away from SUVs will not be easy either. We may not like dependance on middle east energy, but we ain't going to do a damn thing about it.
Local shops in Santa Barbara have the latest top of the line Sony XBR LCDs as well as the Pioneer Elite and Fujitsu plasmas, all properly set up with 1080p DVD or HDTV feeds. Each looks spectacular; nor do I see much difference among the top flat screens. It seems the artifacts have been pretty much addressed.
Next move for me is front projection. There's nothing like a large screen for movies, and price for flat screen units at this time is an overwhelming factor as size gets big.
