I will blame the big-box retailers for this. The people buying lcd tvs over plasmas are the same people shelling out $75 for a name-brand 4' hdmi because the peeps at best buy, circuit city, etc. are telling them to. A little research will reveal that 1080p is (for the most part) a waste on a 42" tv and that plasma's are a much better bang for your buck in the 42"-50" range. BUT, the people shopping at the previously named retailers are listening to what the sales people are telling them. "1080p is better", "plasmas are bad because of burn-in", etc. etc. Not much to be done about this though, so no sense complaining. OLED tvs will be around sooner or later and then LCD's sales will start sliping as well.
