For the record, Plasma probably always looks better than LCD's, even LED LCD's but I have a mental phobia about their reliability. 


For the record on your post above, that 600 hz is just trickery which plasmas use to sound more badass than LCD/LEDs. Its not an actual 600 hz refresh rate.

None of these current TVs work at more than 60 hz when it comes to accepting the signal.Try plugging a computer in to a 240 hz tv and set the refresh rate to 120 hz, and watch the TV stutter like its got terrets...it cant do it.

All of them just accept 60 hz and then use trickery to make 60 hz signal look more smooth to the viewer. So 60 hz really isn't that bad as its the most true picture to the original source. With some of these 120/240 hz TV engines, you can have a bluray movie look like a home video...

Once true 120 hz TVs come out which allow for 120 hz input (projectors and monitors already exist) and TV channels start broadcasting in 120 hz...then we can forget 60 hz ever existed.
