oh really? didnt plasma have picture shift? So far I've read alot about IR, which is quite normal and I have seen it myself on a Pioneer. But it doesnt last long and the next min I look at it, the IR is already gone. I do plan to use my TV for all sorts of things and really, I dont believe watching movie with black boarders for a few hours doesn't have any problems but playing games for the same amount of hours would have problems hope I'm right

EDIT: btw, how obvious is the picture shift?

I think LCD technology is just good to use as computer monitor screen.
To use as a TV, LCD is still a long way to match up with CRT or even plasma.

but cannot get plasma tv in RM4K range la
