Right. Some of the newest, top-of-the-line LCD TVs from Sony and Samsung
come with the LED backlights that help reduce the light bleed through, and
hence give them darker blacks. But even then, all but the absolute newest (and
most expensive) still can't match the blacks of plasma. And you're right that
the 240 mhz refresh rate is the best LCDs can do. I also find that, like
audiophiles who prefer the "warmer" sound of older equipment, I like the
"warmer" look of plasmas. Some LCDs look almost too sharp, too artificial.

Keith,
thanks man. yes, i prefer plasma because it has a 600mhz refresh rate...if u
are into sports (as i am) u have 2 watch it on plasma. lcd at it's best is
120mhz (some just 60 and a couple are now 240) are still slower than 600mhz.
plus the added benefit is that the plasma has such richer color than an lcd.
those bulbs behind the lcd cause's it 2 blur out some of the darker colors, but
plasma gives you those deep rich blacks, and bright yellows. plus, it's a hell
of a lot lighter 2 hoist up.

Congrats, and my praise for buying a plasma. I'm always inundated by
friends and people at electronics stores who say LCD is the way to go, but I
much prefer the look of plasma.
