I would rather have a thick(er) LCD screen then a plasma.

Sure the Plasma TVs may look better in color extremes (deeper blacks, brighter whites etc.) but as far as I know they are still plagued by burn-in problems which is related to how they work.

So unless a major revision was done to the technology they still would have the burn-in problems that have me personally pick a LCD over a plasma.

This is nice however i dont think having such a thin screen is going to always be the answer.

They need to do something that minimizes the heat that LCD screens generate.
