the store lighting was very dim much like home condition, that is why i wrote the whole story. Also to make a point that most people make a decision make on store display. Even though all the professional reviews praise plasma black levels (need to get high end plasmas to get the best details). i personally wanted to get a plasma to replace my 46 inch LCD set but now i have second thoughts.
I am skeptical about plsamas long term reliability as there are many people complained about panasonic plasma failing (red blinking light failure) failure range is from immediate to 3 years, i don't want to buy 5 year warranty to watch TV, it is absurd from these manufacturers to say the 100,000 planel life when their power supply is failing much much earlier. google with panasonic red light failure to find the complaints, some people will argue it is less than 5 percent but the numbers are higher, the cost of repairs is more than $1k in most cases, it is hapenning in every model panasonic has produced in last 3-4 years and people who bought plasma three years ago at least paid at leask 3-4 K for 42 to 50 inch model, there are not happy with this failure.
