It is on cheaper plasmas too - I've got a 40" LCD infront of me which has no probs with motion blur whatsoever. But it's not a cheapo Aldi special etc.0 -
Same. I have a 40" LCD, the Samsung.. with no 100mhz but motion blur isn't a problem

In all honesty, there's not much difference! Standard definition seemed a bit clearer on the Sony Bravia which confused me, but we were sitting further back then with my Samsung... so that was prob it...
I just went for the higher contrast ratio. Sure I don't have the 100mhz but hey, it's not really needed as far as I'm concerned! Wont spend extra money for it as currently fast moving scenes look brilliant already to me
When I got mine 13 months ago, I remember reading that Sony and Samsung were collaborating and producing all their LCD panels in one factory for both brands.0 -
yup the panels are the same (think LG were also using samsung panels) but the panel isn't the be all and end all, the electronics and software controlling it has a huge part to play.0

i read with interest that the Plasma TVs seem to have got their power consumption under control .. is this correct. A friend of mine bought a 42" (I think) plasma a few years back .. he has always used the running joke that what it costs him in electricity he saves in heating

Ivan, modern day plasma's are similar prices to LCD screens. They are under a lot more control[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."
