They cost too much

they are subject to "burn in" if an image is left on the screen paused too long

They must be stored and used right-side up. if you mount a plasma to a ceiling it's ruined.

When an LCD's backlight burns out, you can replace the bulb. when a plasma doesn't light up, you replace the entire plasma.

they are heavier.

The image quality isn't any better.

It has been found that plasma tvs will run out of plasma after some amount of time. Also plasma tvs are very sensitive to light so you have to be careful what direction you have them facing.
