[dba-Tech] [dba-OT] LCD vs Plasma

So it sounds like LCD over plasma.   Yes?  

And a toss up between Samsung and Sony although Samsung seems to have a
slight edge in our unofficial poll.

Now, another thing I've seen on these TVs - the aspect ratio is fercockt -
flattened out, regular picture stretched to fit the wider screen.  What's up
with that?

I have heard that plasmas are being phased out. Gravity has it's drawbacks,
evidently.
