Here’s some support: read Imaging Science’s opinions on what metrics are important, in general…

• from http://www.imagingscience.com:
  • …the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) states the the most important aspects of picture quality are (in order): 1) contrast ratio, 2) color saturation, 3) color accuracy, 4) resolution. Resolution is 4th on the list and plasma is generally superior to LCD in all of the other areas…(from www.carltonbale.com–see the link above).
