And for the record, as some have mentioned, many videophiles (including myself) prefer the look of plasma TVs because of their gorgeous picture quality, superb refresh rate (without the "video taped" look that a 240hz LCD/LED can cause), and their excellent off-center viewing quality.

The downside to plasmas, like Chark said above, is that they run HOT (we are talking about a gas based technology), and don't perform as well in brightly lit environments as LEDs which emit more light.
