I am an absolute newbie when it comes to 1080p TVs. I recently bought a Samsung LCD (LN52A750, 120Hz 1080p) and was staggered by the smoothness of the picture and sharp detail. However, it was the excessive motion blur which made me return it.
After some (minimal, granted) research, I replaced the Samsung LCD with a Samsung Plasma (PN50A530 1080p). I'm very pleased with the flow of motion from my HDTV and Blu-Ray sources, however it does not have that smoothness and level of detail that the LCD had.
My question is, am I comparing apples to oranges or is there really a best-of-both-worlds plasma tv that handles motion wonderfully and will also have that certain "smooth as glass" quality to the video and sharp detail? Is a 1080p24 LCD the same as a 1080p Plasma?
The rep at the shop assured me that there is no difference in sharpness from one plasma 1080p tv to the next and that my plasma is comparable to all of the other details of the LCD but with superior motion flow - I'm having my doubts now and therefore turn to all of you, the true experts.
