I have a couple of plasma TVs and absolutely love them. I have not had anything but plasma TVs since they first became popular. I set the colors on "vivid" and enjoy the more vivid, brighter than life picture. The blacks seem extra-black to me, too, and the picture is so pretty!
Next time I will probably go with something else, though, if plasma TVs are becoming obsolete. They are awfully expensive, so I don't see the point in paying extra if the other types of TV are satisfactory.
I'm also been a plasma TV person because of the black levels, I never cared for LCDs because of that. Plus they seemed to have a much more natural look for motion etc. like CRTs used to have.
The plasma replacement is supposed to be OLED, which has the best black levels you can get because the screen area is completely dark in true black areas due to the way the panel works. Unfortunately right now OLEDs are still crazy expensive but give it a couple of years and they'll be popular for those that want the best picture.
