Pioneer to show ultra-black plasma TV
Neither plasma nor LCD sets on the market today can display a perfect black unless they're off. The cells of a plasma display need a constant "priming current" to stay active, which makes them glow faintly. Liquid-crystal displays, or LCDs, contain a backlight, which the liquid-crystal layer cannot block completely, meaning light shines through even in the darkest areas of the picture.
So no plasma or LCD for me yet. Time to search for a 32" crt hdtv. Cool idea these things but way too expensive to play around with.
