The biggest issue I have with LCDs is that just about every one I see
has noticeable smearing and motion blurs.  I find it very distracting.
 Maybe it's because I have been using CRTs solely for my PC and TV
monitors.  Dunno.

Personally, I just really really don't like any LCD TV I've seen in stores,
the colours and picture quality are usually horrendous. I have noticed that
this is getting better but still not as good as I would like.

I don't think this is necessarily an LCD issue as I've seen Plasma, CRT, LCD
TVs and PCs with LCD monitors all running from the same source and the PC
will look one hell of a lot better than the LCD TV (even a good name/high
end one). I guess it has something to do with the scaling and display
chipset, and in these cases I've seen software seems to win.

LCD if you want something now. Organic LED for the future (thinner than LCD,
approaching paper thin). Intel was developing LCoS in flat panel form but
put that off for the time being.

The 65-inch AQUOS is not only the world's largest widescreen LC HDTV, it
also delivers a stellar 1080p
It does true 1920x1080 pixel resolution.
However it up converts all signals to 1080 from 480 and 720P
007.
Thankfully all resolution conversion results in a progressive signal with no 
downconversion. While there is no advantage of viewing 480p and 720p @ 
1080p, there certainly isn't a disadvantage if the processing is done right 
with minimal upsampling errors. I'm curious how 1080i material looks on this 
set, and if goes through a 3:2 pulldown processor like older sets do with 
480i-to-480p

Hardware members in Colorado, Peru, or Nepal might want to read this:
"When Plasma TVs are placed in homes at elevations above 6,500 feet, they
will often emit an annoying buzzing noise. This is due to the fact that the
plasma gas inside the TV is subject to air pressure, and the higher the
altitude, the more the TV will be prone to buzzing."
Add that to the many other reasons why people should turn to another 
technology if they desire a flat panel display.
