After moving to plasma from LCD, i would have to say plasma is way better. But the new Samsung LED backlit LCD is indeed very impressive.

Here's my take since I own both LCD & Plasma  biggrin.gif

Plasma:

+ Deep contrast, no motion blur issues, wide viewing angle
-  Burn-in (this is exaggerated old news/propaganda these days), slightly higher power consumption, glare (not really applicable to high end models), only available in 42" & above (larger screens)

LCD/LED:

+ Vivid colors, less power consumption, new LED models are very slim & sexy, available in all sizes
-  Motion blur (frame interpolation kinda solve the issue but the result made the PQ unrealistic), Bright (depending on the spectator, there have been reported cases of viewing discomfort)

One of the main reasons plasma lost out in the HDTV war due to the fact it is only available in bigger screens, while LCD has successfully captured the market share. This is purely based on economics, nothing to do with quality. Ideally, we'll all be flying Concord today if not for the price  biggrin.gif

The other thing is, don't get carried away with all the Motion Flow XXXMhz. This is purely a sales gimmick  brows.gif Even with the fastest refresh rates, motion blur is still evident.

Ultimately, the satisfaction of owning a HDTV boils down to Picture Quality.

Go with the Panasonic Plasma, natural color and picture with less IR issue. Cannot tahan those LCD Motion Flow watery effect....make the picture look so fake.

I think the S10 do have floating black issue. I sometimes do notice that the screen suddenly becomes brighter or darker(mild effect). I thought is the media player or the movie?

Anyway, it not really that bad....overall i am really enjoying the picture quality as its really good.
