    I only use my TV for watching sport and general programmes etc, not for gaming, dont need smart tv, 3d etc etc

    NOTE : I have a HD set top box

    If both were roughly around the same price and you had to choose between the below 2 type TV's, which one would you choose -- mainly from a picture quality point of view and for watching sport



    Choice 1

    42 Inch Plasma HD ready 720 P with 600 HZ refresh rate


    Choice 2

    42 Inch LED Full HD 1080 P with 100 HZ refresh rate

    Some would say that Plasma is on the decline. Most electronics stores will probably advise you to go with LED as it's the new and evolving technology. At the end of the day it's all about what you want to watch and what you feel comfortable watching and you will find people to argue for both camps but a 1080p LED will almost always get the nod over dated 720p Plasma. I was asking the same questions a few months ago and eventually went with the LED which was the smart choice imo. :)

    Thanks for that reply
    I watch alot of sport and the one and only thing that puts me off the LED is the 100 HZ refresh rate ( Vs the 600 HZ of the plasma )

    To me looking at in in a simple manner, teh refesh rate on the LED is very bad compared to the refresh rate on the plasma or is this a bad way to comapre things - and that the 1080 p on the LED will outweight this

    Would this 100 Hz refresh rate cause alot of blur on the LED when watching sport ?

    Your football will be coming in at 30fps, which needs a refresh rate of 60 hertz to display correctly. You won't be able to distinguish anything above 30fps anyway, so a boast like 600Hz is pretty much marketing bull.
