REALLY have to make sure that you're not sensitive to flickering.

Not specific to Samsung, of course. Can be checked at BestBuy, if they have it on display.

If you were sensitive to old CRT monitors flickering at 60 Hz - very good chance that plasma TV is not for you.

At some frequency most of your posts flicker.

says 600 hz: no issue there unless it was a typo. Older Sam sung were not the greatest picture, though, Adding a PLC helps significantly

  Google "Plasma flicker 600 Hz" - there are (rather wordy) explanations why 600 Hz is NOT an actual refresh rate, and why people sensitive to flickering can see it on plasma TV.

    Carcass thanks for mentioning that. I have serious problems with the effects of flicker. I was thinking of buying one of those cheap plasmas like the ones in this thread, but your post reminded me of why I ended up returning previous plasma tv's I owned. What a drag not be able to enjoy those natural and beautiful plasma pictures because the brain and your eyes can't process the images in a comfortable manner. That's been my problem for years. I tried something like 12 different lcd, and plasma tv's because of the discomfort I experience. Even tried about 4 different cable providers. Still experience some problems watching tv.
