My Samsung plasma has plenty of contrast & sharpness.... And... Real, rich blacks. And it's 58" Look, I am a ex-pc gamer. I don't notice any input lag compared to my monitor days.. I have no desire to upgrade my pc every year, I've become a casual gamer in my age & responsibilities in life this why I enjoy consoles more now. Put the game in and play.. No money pit changing out graphics cards, updating drivers...
