Best TV for The Show?

[TexasLeague]

I am going to be purchasing a new tv soon and wonder what would be best for not only The Show, but more importantly for watching sports in HD. I am going to get a 1080p TV (save me the argument about The Show in 1080 vs 720), but I am wondering if anyone has any good recommendations?

LED or LCD? 60 hz or 120hz? If you could let me know what your experience has been I would appreciate it. I have been playing on a small hdtv so i am ready to upgrade to probably about a 42".

I would like to know this as well. Also in the market for a new tv.

I have a 50" panasonic plasma. The HD is the best I've seen. The problem with that tv is that SD channels are a little blurry but it's not that bad. I also have a 32" vizio LCD and the HD is clear and SD is just a pinch better than the plasma but the HD is better on the plasma.

LED runs games better. As far as brand goes DON'T go Samsung. Their TV's lag for ps3. I have a Sony 32 inch Bravia LCD and it's great, but the LED runs smoother. Both are great though.

Another vote for plasma here. I just bought a 50" Samsung and the picture is beautiful for the show. Plasma is the best quality for sports in HD because there is no motion blur like LCD has. LED is good to but my money goes to Plasma because watching movies and sports in HD cant be beat with plasma.

That's completely not true about Samsung. I own their 55" LED and turn on game mode...absolutely no lag whatsoever!

I have to agree. I have the same exact TV as 417 and have had no problems.

That's completely false about Samsung. I have one and there's absolutely zero lag with my PS3.
