"And this is what it comes down to, a popularity contest. " briang1621 Perfectly said. The only aspects where an lcd "outperforms" a plasma is in "brightness", and the non reflective screes, which have all but dissapeared as well because the lcd companies use a different coating to try and increase the percieved contrast. All the bs about burnin and life and all that stuff is a non factor. I watched two 42" samsung plasmas on ESPN for roughly 12 hours a day for more than a year, and you know what, the only burnin i could see was on a perfectly white screen you could see a very faint shape in the bottom right corner. I think most consumers really just dont like their money because they dont do the right kind of reasearch, because if they did, they would found they could get a better picture for a lower price, in a technology that has proven to have less issues in the larger sizes. -If they bring the price down like this article says and advertise a longer life that would be awesome. Voices1776 Prices are down, roughly 1500 for the best panasonic on the market 50g10, 1080p, and a 100000 hr half life. no worries about life span there. -LCDs are better for video games. When I did my research in June and bought a television, I found that hud elements in video games can cause burn in. There are ways around this, but we're making marginal decisions. Also: ghosting in video games. -I also found that watching material with letterboxing will burn in the plasma display, no matter how modern. So if you mostly watch movies on your display and hardly any television, you could harm it.rateoforange Again you listened to some probably college age guy who bought a westinghouse and will talk bad about plasma all day because he got a good value. If you were buying a plasma like 6 years ago, then ya i would say worry about burnin, nowadays it truly is a non-factor and you would have to purposely try to get burnin on the newer sets. I used to get frustrated with people who would comein and they could see the better quality picture in the plasma and see the lower price and still buy an LCD because of what some guy said on the internet or what his neighbor said. Its ok though because ill laugh my way into the future enjoying the best picture available on the market for a third of what one might spend on those rediculous LED tv's.

Sorry to say but you sir Senfelone, must not have never watched a plasma. Because i have never experienced motion issues with plasmas, and had worked with them every day for 3 years before joining the military. I love how everyone tries to discredit plasmas by what they read and what this and that guy said. I have heard good things about the laser technology, but, if you walk into any magnolia store, they will tell you the best TV available right now, picture quality wise is the pioneer elite plasma, hands down. And if they do tell you different, i would ask for a different associate cause that person is worried about sales numbers.

the thing that most people dont realize is that the rotation of a bullet completely different than a baseball curve. the baseball has a 3/4 over the top rotation, with the rotation spinning forward. The disc comment above would seem the only logical way to make this curve work because the rotation is the correct direction to get the shown curve. a bullet does not have the correct axis of rotation to give it the desired effect shown in the movie. All that taken into account with a grain of salt cause it was a movie, that was a fun ride nonetheless.
