With newer LCD's going 5000:1+ dynamic contrast ratio the reason for purchasing Plasma's are dwindling even more. They'll probably be obsolete when LCD's reach a dynamic contrast ration of 10000:1 on normal budget screens. I can't think of one positive plasma's would have after that point.

LCD's are just as thin if not thinner, weigh far less, use less power, generally have a higher pixel density (though 1080p plasma's have finally come out this year), usually greater lifetime, and FAR less chance of any kind of burn in (you'd probably have to keep a still image on it continously for over a week or so I read).
