Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater which TV would you get

I like Samsung, too -- my last 3 TVs have been Samsung plasmas.

You don't need to be worried about plasmas being less clear than LCDs because of a lower refresh rate. The TV signal itself is 60Hz. There may be advantages to the TV having higher rates, but I don't see how that could improve resolution. Some plasmas advertise high refresh rates, too. (My Samsung pn58c8000 has 96Hz framerate for 1080p blu-ray, and 600Hz "subfield" refresh for all signals.)

Most satellite HD signals are at 1080i -- only a few are at 720p.
