I think they look awful. My 42" panaphonics plasma blows any rptv out of the water. while price may be an issue, they only fit in enormous rooms, which seems to defeat the purpose because if you can afford to have such a huge house to park it in, you can afford to spend $1000 more on a flat screen.
If you think the picture quality on RP sucks, then you should look at a properly calibrated Mitsubishi RP. (That's one of the disadvantages of RP is that you need them calibrated to look good. Mitsubishis tend to come very well calibrated out of the store and stay that way for a very long time).
Simon - you can claim your Plasma is better than any RPTV, but that simply is not true. Your Plasma is certainly thinner than any RPTV and brighter than any LCD. 42" is a bit small for a TV though, I guess if you have a small apartment it's okay. (I have 55" RPTV in a 550sqft apartment)
Johnny - LCDs and OLED are catching up quickly to RP. In a few years even the videophiles will want a flatpanel TV.
