yep, great forum.

that's not true at all with the top-end Panasonic (PZT or PVT) or Samsung (PNF8500) models, they get plenty bright.

any of those models will blow away anything LCD made, especially since 95% of LCD sets on the market today use "Edge LED" backlight, which is utter garbage and ruins picture quality in so many different ways.

the only good LCD sets are those that employ a "full-array LED with local dimming" backlight, but those are insanely expensive and only a couple brands make them now because they're so expensive to manufacture.
