I dont know too may.You can read the rest of the thread for more info but one glorified flaw is that plasma's suffer from burn-in.If a stationary pic is viewed too long,even if you remove it,you will see a ghost image of it.
To give you an example,if you just watch star news 24x7,the star logo visible on top left/right corner is always stationary and its position does not change irrespective of the content being displayed on the channel.Now if you were to switch to another channel you would still see a hint of the star logo.
The other reason why people are buying lcds is because its a newer technology while plasma's are outdated.Newer technology doesnt necessarily mean better technology.Using that yardstick,crt's are still the best when it comes to picture quality.Also plasmas are available in only 42" and above and most of the people who buy lcd's do so for personal use at homes and dont really go above 40".you will find that 70% of lcd buyers will opt for 32" lcd,as its decently big and cheap as well.
