Plasma TVs and Motion Blur (Compared to Sony XBR CRT)

Posted by Tom80112 on July 28, 2009 at 14:19:38:
Hello,

I am getting the itch to consider a 50" Samsung Plasma TV.
The 450 series model at Best Buy for about $950.

For years I have kept my 2 Sony 35" XBR CRT TVs because motion
seems so much quicker and smoother on a highend tube TV.

So I have two questions:

1. Has plasma's speed and smoothness of motion caught up to
smoothness of CRT tube based TVs?

2. I only watch DVDs and they look great on my tube TV due to
tube TVs not having a fixed native resolution. Have plasmas
gotten to the point where standard def DVDs look as good as
they do on tube TVs? (I am using a Krell DVD standard)

Thanks for the info..
