[citation][nom]maydaynomore[/nom]I will never understand why LCD has been more successful than Plasma. I bought my 50" Panasonic S1 plasma for $740 plus tax at Sears in Jul 2009(took advantage of stackable coupons, plus a sale). Sale price was $999 before coupons. There is no LCD (even $2,000+)out there that can compare in picture quality to this TV. So, it is no surprise to me that Plasma 3D looks betther than LCD 3D.[/citation]
LCD does have a few advantages. Less noise, heat and power consumption for example, or better performance for smaller screen sizes.
Plasma is generally better, but don't discount LCD.
Besides, since when is the best product the most common choice for consumers? IE still is the largest browser while Opera and Chrome together don't get 10% of the market. Another clear example of better quality not leading to market dominance.
