I've seen a lot of people complain about bloom and not being able to have localized dimming with LED. Plus the black levels on plasmas are visibly better in any side by side comparisons I've seen.

OLED is supposed to be where it's at as it's supposed to rival LED and plasma, but right now it's way too expensive.

A trip over to the AVS Forums will educate you on all currently available products as of
now the flagship Panasonic plasmas hold the throne the Pioneer Kuro's did but production
has stopped as they are getting out of the flat panel business.
