Mmm, well you're wrong in a sense too...because its all opinion really. Cathode rays look pretty good to this day, especially the Sony HD models out there...but I know some people that prefer plasma picture over CRT, or LCD over plasma...it's all relative. LCDs, plasmas and CRT's can all reproduce hi def picture quality. Whichever one looks the best is a personal opinion.

And on a sidenote, wait until NED's start rolling out. Plasmas and LCDs will be dirt cheap.

Yeah, I had the Paul halftime show but I had to delete it due to lack of space. Now I have room, and I wish I still had it. I'll have to check again!

Well, that's certainly true.

My comment was based on actual measurements of color fidelity, moving-frame response, and gamma on many different 'best' models of various technologies. (I design high-definition imaging systems.)

It's nice to have choices though - many people would rather have extra contrast on their video, extra bass on their audio, and extra salt on their potato. That is certainly a personal preference.
