You don't want a 100Hz tv for gaming. Motion interpolation reduces motion blur but it also adds input lag, making it undesirable for gaming. So you'd just have it disabled anyway.

If you intend to watch lots of sports on it, get a 100Hz one. If you don't it'd just be a waste of money.

Oh, and motion blur is an LCD issue, plasmas don't suffer from it. In fact a plasma will beat even a 100Hz LCD when it comes to motion handling.

Well of course a Plasma will beat an LCD at motion handling but they are not suitable for gaming. The burn in issue that Plasmas still have make them a bigger problem than any small amount of input lag that a 100Hz LCD will have.

Plasmas haven't had any burn-in issues for ages. Image retention, sure, but burn-in is a thing of the past.


Same issue, different name.  And no its not a thing of the past, it does still happen.  And in some cases there are ways of reversing it, but that isnt always the case

It is not the same issue. Burn can be permanent. Image retention is not permanent. Either way, any permanent effect that can occur to a plasma screen will not occur under normal use, including gaming for hours at a time.
