First, the only televisions that use LEDs use OLEDs. There are none using
conventional LEDs.

Second, there are no strict definitions of what these refresh rates mean.
In
some cases, the set generates an interpolated image at that rate, in
others,
a blank (black) raster is inserted. Some sets combine both.

I don't like this enhancement (which was one of the reasons I bought a
plasma set). It has a nasty side-effect -- it makes motion pictures look
like video. This might be fine for a TV show; it isn't when you're
watching
movies. Be sure that whatever set you purchase has some way of defeating
it
the enhancement.

You need to actually look at the sets you're considering with program
material you're familiar with.



Seconded on all counts, and also the reason that I recently bought a plasma
TV (Panasonic, 50" full HD panel, 400Hz). I have not seen a single thing
about this TV that I don't like so far, unlike the LCD TVs that I have in
the house, and the LCDs that cross my bench for repair, all of which suffer
from motion artifacts, scaling artifacts, and motion blur ...

This plasma TV has produced absolutely stunning HD pictures from the Winter
Olymics, with not the slightest sign of motion artifacts of any description,
even on the fastest content like downhill skiing, and bobsleigh etc. In
contrast, the same content that I have seen on LCDs, has been perfectly
dreadful.
