To clarify further... Plasma is not good if you consider using it as a computer monitor down the road. It will eventually get burn in to some degree..mine did.If mainly for movies and normal TV watching..you'll be good to go with the Plasma.
Live fast motion picture quality is more dependent on the processing power of the TV than any thing else(whether Plasma or LCD). My Samsung plasma has a terrific picture, but it does have digital artifacts or chipping compared to my LCD when watching live sports broadcast. The LCD actually has the better picture in these areas and it is a 60Hz model Sharp Aquos. The Sharp clearly has better processing in this case.
With recorded video, your video source is what decides how good of a picture you'll get more than anything else IMO.
Also another quark, my Samsung plasma does have better black levels, but the Sharp has better detailed black levels. Instead of seeing just a black blazer of a person's suit. You see a black blazer, black tie and a black shirt with wrinkles in it. This of course varies from panel to panel. Just something to pay close attention too. Some panels will black out the details.
My favorite LCDs are Samsung, Sharp and Sony. For Plasma I would go with the new Panasonic 1080P.
Good luck

...and they were playing the Will Smith movie "I, Robot". During some of the intense actions scenes you could see some pixelization around the edges of the actors. Now these digital artifacts may have just been part of the film so it might not have been the TV's fault. However, they were playing the same movie on a Panasonic PZ85U plasma and I didn't notice any artifacts.
That's quite strange as I just watched I robot 3 weeks ago on my 60 HZ Sharp LCD. There was no pixelation to speak of in the most intense scenes. Judging any of these televisions in a store are difficult. The settings are normally screwed up and the sharpness is turned way too high. This alone will give you grainy edges.
I think it is also a function of distance. All sets I have seen will show some 'dithering' if you are close to the screen. This goes for LCD or plasma. At a typical viewing distance, however, I cant see this going on. This is different from pixelation, however.
Yeah I agree..that's why I'm always puzzled by comments of LCDs only having these motion issues. I see issues with them both. It is a small price to pay for a better viewing experience..one I can accept and live with over a basic CRT display.
Dick,
Although I ultimately purchased a Pio, that Panny PZ85 is THE biggest bang for the buck out there right now. I came very close to buying it.
I agree on the Panasonic, that's why I bought one. My room isn't that large so I bought the 42". Now I regret it. Shoulda bought the 46"! Fortunately my wife loves the TV too and now agrees with me that the 32" Samsung in the master bedroom is too small. I see the 46" in my future after all....
You better go for the 50". If the 42" is starting to seem too small, the 46" will not be much better. You quickly get used to the size. A 50" will not take up much more room than the 46".
I was told that's noise from the 120 processing.
