Poll: LCD vs. Plasma vs. DLP vs. RPTV vs. LCDP

[martinstraka8282]

Well I've been reading the threads for quite a while here at Bluray.com, and I can't help but notice the underwhelming support for Plasma T.V. I want to know what people prefer, and what dissadvantages of the different types of displays bother them the most. I have been a plasma owner since I got into HDTV's, but I have experience with most types of displays.

Each type of display has it's problems, but some more than others. I have always felt that Plasma is the way to go for home theatre, and LCD for gaming. I am obviously biased because I own a Plasma, but I just love Television and I have always looked for the most balance in a set. I watch a lot of movies, sports, and I play a lot of video games... probably like most people here do. I have been an Ottawa Senators fan all my young life, so this past year was awesome, HD just made it that much better. Please cast your vote accordingly, and feel free to knock my T.V. while you're at it.

If there are question marks below, that means I have no experience other than store viewing with this display type. I also left out CRT.
