A untrained eye might like LED/LCD better because they are brighter than plasma and OLED but outside of that they pale in comparison.
Most people just want a bright Vivid picture. AV enthusiasts want what's called a reference level picture quality. This means it meets certain certified standards and produces accurate colors rather than bright Vivid colors.
When directors film and cut movies they use reference monitors so a picky consumer will also want a reference level TV so they can see content exactly as the director intended it to be seen. Most movies are not meant to "pop" . Most people don't care about this stuff which is why crappy cheap TVs are so popular.
