I think I'm pretty well informed in this are; my point it that the poster was blowing smoke.

As a general rule, that is correct, but with current models, not always.

This means there is more of a spread between the blackest blacks to the whites on a PDP than on an LCD.

As in Contrast Ratio = White Luminance/Black Luminance; I understand this.

Not sure how this relates to the comment you are responding to, but I do know that the 32" Viz I bought for the bedroom (dimly lit) shows this fault up. If I get the blacks right - the PQ is dim. If I brighten it up, the blacks are anything but.

Really can't follow the logic here.
If you get the Blacks right, as in properly calibrate the brightness control (black level). That's fine.
Then, if the picture is dim, simply turn up the contrast control (white level) a bit.
It will not diminish the black level at all but it will brighten the picture.
Maybe you don't properly understand the function of these two controls and are adjusting the wrong one for the given condition.
