Hi all,I'm currently in the research mode, looking to buy a jack of all trades Full HD TV. I intend to use it for PC gaming, streaming movies and youtube from a PC, playing Bluerays, Freeview etc.I've read the 2008 sticky thread on LCD vs Plasma, and while it sure got me some old school base knowledge, I somehow suspect things are a bit different in the year of our Lord 2013.I have looked a few pages back, didn't find any topic similar to this, that offers all the information I'm after, if I somehow missed it, please feel free to berate me.I saw people have been recommending LED LCD TVs for gaming, but haven't really went in detail why. A friend of mine said their 100hz refresh rate is just an imitation, not the actual 100hz, like you get on Asus gaming monitors, for example. Can anyone offer some explanation on how things are with today's LED LCD TVs?I'm personally swaying towards Panasonic Plasma TV, specifically the 50inch Full HD, non Smart, non 3D. From all the articles read, and from Panasonic website, it would appear Plasma has continuously grown and upgraded their performance. Is this just PR or have they surpassed LCDs or at least caught up in some fields?Also, the price to screen size ratio is either 40inch LED LCD or 50inch plasma, and seeing as I plan to spend the rest of my life in my new lazyboy, bigger screen means less strain on eyes.Let this be an update to the 2008 thread, no flaming or arguing please.Thanks!-M
