That's basically how I'd describe it at well. Anything but sun rays actually hitting it is fine. A dark movie in the evening is where plasma really shines. Hockey, there are some things about a good lcd that are better, some things about a plasma that are better. Ice doesn't look quite as white on plasma would be my biggest complaint.

Speaking of longevitiy though, my first Panasonic plasma is still going strong after 7 years.
