I didn't think plasmas needed the extra Hz. I thought only LCDs needed the extra Hz to be smooth.

Thats the thing, when playing 24p content the refresh rate is typically lowered to a multiple of 24. Which is why plasma's seem like they might not be such a great option anymore.

If you're going to get a plasma then get the panasonic v10 series. Remember, when Pioneer went down, Panasonic took 2/3rd of their engineers and all of their patents. Panasonic is light years ahead of their competition in the plasma field. With the refresh rate, nowadays with the new 240hz refresh rate, you can't really tell the difference from 120hz. It's all about the video processing within the TV. Shoot me a msg if you have any questions, I work for Samsung.

If you work for Samsung, why are you recommending people get a Panasonic TV? PR disaster

Nah, it's good that you're not biased. I just found the idea funny

Most mid to upper tier plasma sets come as 24p capable...just like their LCD counterparts.

Anything but 1080p 24 runs at 400/600hz and is super smooth, better than any LCD.

For out and out IQ on HD you still can't beat a good LCD, but I’m talking about real pixel peeping shit here as in standing right next to a frozen image and getting a loop out.. For all overall IQ you can't beat a modern plasma.

Just last night I was watching Discovery HD channel, I still find it amazing.

It’s just a shame they are so thick and heavy.

^this. and any top of the line lcd's unnoticeable pixel smoothness is trumped by plasmas black level.

^this.

We just bought the same TV. Though the one I got was a 54".

that's OK, if it's all you can afford.

i won't utilize the space behind my current plasma for anything.

oddly enough, my modem/router is there

I'm not going to bash another company or tell lies when there are better products out there. If someone is in the market for a LED display then I would tell them to get the 8500 Series. Samsung's 860 series is still awesome but there are better plasma displays out there.
