John: Looking up Plasma, I can see your point. 2006 the technology has been improved...what I do not like about 37 inch display or greater, is the quality of the picture. They take a small image and blow it up to a larger size. You have all sort of problems to overcome and quality is not that good compared to say a 27 inch TV .....I was mostly using info I have learned in 27 inch and below CRT, show the best compared to others. Plasma is the big screen and you have distortion. It's like taking a 35mm picture and blowing it up to 37 by 24 inches. The picture is blurred, grains appear, and the like...I prefer the 27 inch size because the overall quality is much better..
Bill Little recap of this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_display Until quite recently, the superior brightness, faster response time, greater color spectrum, and wider viewing angle </wiki/Viewing_angle> of color plasma video displays, when compared with LCD televisions </wiki/Liquid_crystal_display_television>, made them one of the most popular forms of display for HDTV </wiki/HDTV> flat panel displays </wiki/Flat_panel_display>. For a long time it was widely believed that LCD technology was suited only to smaller sized televisions, and could not compete with plasma technology at larger sizes, particularly 40 inches and above. However, since then, improvements in LCD technology have narrowed the technological gap. The lower weight, falling prices, higher available resolution, which is important for HDTV, and often lower electrical power consumption of LCDs make them competitive against plasma displays in the television set market. As of late 2006, analysts note that LCDs are overtaking plasmas, particularly in the important 40-inch (1.0 m) and above segment where plasma had previously enjoyed strong dominance a couple of years before.^[1] <#_note-0> Another industry trend is the consolidation of manufacturers of plasma displays, with around fifty brands available but only five manufacturers.
