There's one big difference that put plasmas way out in front.

Blacks are the most black on a plasma, I spent the extra and bought the elite, just like I spent the money and got the Kirkham. No regrets.

My old Pioneer big screen died after 15 great years of trouble-free fantastic viewing. So I bought another.

The only plasmas I saw burn in were the same as CRT's, sitting in the lobby of a business displaying the same image for months.

Samsung and Sony are a close second and Pioneer is #1. Has been for 20yrs.
