And you think that will be successful product???
At end of it what's the point of having that TV if you can;t watch standard Def satisfactorily on it (ok say tata sky or dish)?
What is the market size of people who buy TV only for watching HD?
LCD is riding on the HD bandwagon (Full HD LCD is cheaper than Full HD Plasma), but who needs those Full HD sets when there is hardly any Full HD content, and it's not going to change much in next 5 years (all media companies, incl your cable guy has to upgrade, thats a huge investment).
From my visits to US, I see that high def is still yet to catch on there. And even movies continue to largely be in DVD format only!
And talking about detail and clarity, plasmas come in full HD too. So you need to compare apples to apples.
Talking about skin colour tone, most of the current gen TV still use 8bit or 10 bit color reproduction, whereas most popular plasmas do 16 bit. That's 2^10 vs 2^16 and that's lot of difference, which the eye can perceive.
And believe me those HD resolution on LCD is still hog wash. it's fine for static/slow moving images, but when fast motion is concerned, you get only about 1/3 of it visible, rest goes away in motion blurr. This is proven and there are now new measurements evolving for measuring resolution for motion.

New products launched are Sony's new W400A with full HD and a contrast ratio of 30,000:1. This is the basic Full HD version with no picture processing just the full HD 1920X1080 panel. It's priced at Rs.1,19,900 mrp.

These contrast numbers are dynamic contrast numbers and they are very much equivalent to PMPO of audio, i.e. they do not contribute much to picture quality
Talking about native contrast an LCD has 3000 range compared to 15000 for common plasma.
In fact pioneer has made a concept plasma model with infinite contrast ratio...
No offense, but You seem to be working for some LCD TV mfg company
it might help to put some disclaimer with your comments
