Why are LCDs more popular than plasma?
The only real advantage LCD has over plasma is the burn in problem and it is not as much an issue as it once was. Modern plasmas are about as susceptible to burn in as CRTs. Most people don't realize that an LCD screen can suffer from burn in also... 
Putting 2 speakers on 1 channel, issues?
