Indeed!  We finally bought a Panasonic LCD/LED because of that.  I don't 
have any color vision, and in the store, the contrast ratio of it over 
all the others was striking for me.  It was a little spendy, but now we 
both can enjoy HD, high-contrast TV.  I've always thought the plasma TV 
idea belonged in the same trash can as the 21 MHz TV IF of the 
50's/60's.  :-)
