Well if you got $10,000 to spair, than Samsung's latest and oh so greatest 55" 'Super' OLED arriving this year will have you covered.lol
Anyways, I'm absolutely sick and tired of my current LG 42" LK450 1080p LCD for watching movies....The blur/motion handeling is seriously getting to me. It's distracting and makes for one incredibly annoying(at times) artifical and lowsy looking experience. The average black levels aren't helping either.
I've got a 720p 42" plasma as well and i totaly prefer it over the LCD due to the superior and Somewhat CRT-like motion handeling and it's more natural looking picture.
As far as gaming goes, I'm still unsure of it all as its a toss up. For gaming, LCD's produce a much more wow-worthy brighter image with a crisper/cleaner picture, and pure whites but with terrible motion handeling which is inherent to the tehcnology, which is much more noticable when zipping the camera around in anything first or 3rd person related(Sidescrollers and platformers fair better) I just can't stand it! Then there's possible screen clouding which i have 'and' light shining out the back of my Set at times. eek!
While
plasma's rock better motion handeling(crappy dithering effect aside) which is the main selling point aside from the usual superior contrast/black levils(depending)....That aside, I'm leaning towards getting a temporary new Plasma until i upgrade towards the end of the year to a 3D 1080p 55". Yet for now I'm looking at the Panasonic 42" X3. if the 16ms input lag also is the same for NTSC models.
My current Plasma is terrible in the input lag department, has grey bars on the left and right side for 4:3 content, and also boasts mediocre black levels. Still prefer it over that junky Samsung D450 though.
Also 16ms is perfectly fine for anything that is tradionally controlled based. But step into Motion control territory with the wii and you'll need every single little MS you can get as the pointer controls for ex are 1:1-fluid with your arm/hand movements. My LK450(VA Panel) is 16ms for non HD gaming such as the wii, and the difference between it and my LAG free CRT is quite noticable for example in Metroid Prime 3's pointer control scheme in combination with the CRT's perfect motion handeling which makes for an incredibly jaw dropping experience, not so much on my lCD. sigh*
Otherwise, 16ms is absolutely fantastic for tradition controlled titles. The minor lag is still present, although most people wouldn't feel it. But having a CRT by your side and shifting between the two would yield a bit of a difference based on my testing. Anyways, I'm a nintendo nut, and I'm all about my Wii aside from retro gaming and so motion controls and having next to bo input lag is very imortant to me. 16ms is the lowest and that still doesn't quite cut it for me regarding titles that utlise motion controls. everything else, hell ya it's great!
Wow, talk about derailing the topic. sorry!
