...or dead pixels, or noticeable burn-in. It's an interesting market. I 
wouldn't call it a cover-up, but I've read some things about plasma 
tech and wondered how it got so popular, and at such high prices. I 
don't think it looks all that great either. Yes, it's bright and thin, 
but that's all it's got. It's weaknesses are glaring. I guess if you're 
rich enough to afford one, then it doesn't matter if it lasts.
