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. |
As a videophile myself I decided against plasma due to images burning into the screen. For normal people it doesn't matter because they'd have to leave a paused movie on for days to see an effect. With us gamers however a week of nonstop Call of Duty parties would burn in the HUD. Sure higher end TVs are better protected against this but when you spend so much money you become paranoid.
