when I bought mine it was all about the refresh rate because watching things like football or other sports can suck if your refresh rate sucks.

The refresh rate on my plasma is supposed to be much higher. I don't understand why they seem so different but in sports the players seem "fuzzy" and blur when they move. They just seem a lot more clear on the LCD. I have played around with the settings but nothing seems to fix it.

I like LCD

I didn't think they still make DLP TVs

I'd pick LED over plasma. You can use it as a computer monitor.

Another small thing to note is that the plasma will suck a lot more power.. and I mean a lot more than a LED HDTV.

I have a nice LCD tv (noted for having some of the best blacks for a LCD) but I hate super dark scenes still. I would love a lot more contrast in the dark areas but when I bought this TV, the LED ones were still 2500 and up.

lol @ obsessing over refresh rates for a tv that likely will see zero game play.

Uhh my Plasma is energy star certified, and uses the same if not less than a lot of the LED sets out right now.


There are models of Plasmas with anti-glare screens which work quite well.


Also - I can use either of my plasmas as a monitor for my computer...
