Yes I'm a converted plasma owner now (Pio 4280 & 5080) from Sony LCD (motion lag, VERY bright - if ya stand directly in the center with the proper HD content, its really nice). The following summary came from DisplaySearch.com:
Although plasma panel growth has slowed in 2007 and plasma faces severe competition from LCDs, the future for plasma TVs remains bright. Plasma technology offers the potential for more cost reduction and performance improvement than LCDs through gains in luminous efficacy. In fact, it is possible that plasma TV brightness can improve 4X over the next 4 years with costs falling by 80%. This would be truly remarkable, but is entirely possible as voltages and current and the number of process steps decline. Plasma TVs also offer significant advantages moving image performance which can now be quantified through moving picture resolution measurements.
