Sorry to post such a boring thread and I'm sure this subject has been beat to death.....

But, I couldn't find a specific thread addressing this.
If many of the "experts" claim plasma PQ is superior to LCD, then why are there so many more LCD's to choose from? Please tell me this isn't another Blu-ray vs HD thing.
Let me say this; I don't know if those who say Plasma is better
are "experts", but I certainly never hear anyone say LCD is better. (PQ)
So - what gives? Will plasma give a better PQ? Does plasma deal with black, dark, shaded areas better than LCD? If this is the case, why wouldn't plasma be the one?
Finally - if plasma gives a better PQ - am I a fool to buy one? I mean, lets say that plasmas go out and are discontinued, is it bad to buy one now? Seems there are some pretty good prices on the plasmas. I've already owned an LCD. What would I immediately notice if I had a good plasma?
Thanks!
