[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 89719, member: 517"] With regards to the delay issue, all flat panels introduce a certain amount of delay (input response time). Good reviews will tell you what the input delay time of a set is, the average is around 60ms, but can be longer depending on how much post processing you have active. While slow input response is not such an issue for most people, it's quite a big deal for a gamer like me. My current Panasonic has a negligible input response time of around 15ms. I think flat panel technology has gotten to the point where it favourably competes with the image quality of a CRT when you take available screen size into account. I have a Panasonic V20E, currently considered the best 2D TV on the market and a Sony KVHR36 (XBR960 in the U.S.), a 36" HD CRT (1449 x 1080) that is considered the best commercially available CRT ever produced. While my CRT has finer colour gradiation as well as an absolutely flawless grasp on motion, it does have it's drawbacks in comparison to my plasma. While the black level is comparable, the CRT isn't as bright as my flat panel, it also has a much lower ANSI contrast figure as the level of black on a CRT rises in proportion to the level of brightness of other content on screen. Which means that while my CRT's picture is excellent, it's simply not capable of producing that same "looking through a window" effect that my plasma is capable of producing. There's also the fact that the plasma has perfect geometry and is capable of displaying content without overscan. I have worked very hard over the years fine tuning my CRT through the service menu but try as I might I can't get overscan under 2.5% without creating unwanted distortion and although my geometry is as near as damn it to perfect, during pans you can still discern small areas of relief.
