LED is the latest technology, not necessarily the best technology...
Technically Best Buy Rep. is correct about better refresh rates, but don't be fooled, read this:JRMRRT said:footballjunkie said:JRMRRT said:I do not know much about electronics but from what Ive heard LED is superior to plasma. Is that incorrect?

The guy at best buy said that LED has better pictures, longer lives and I think he said have better refresh rates but 120 or 240 htz should be the same regardless of product.
Motion blur
Winner: Plasma
Loser: LED LCD and LCD
Motion
blur is when an object in motion on-screen (or when the entire image
pans/moves) blurs. Some of this is in the camera when the scene was
recorded, but most is done by the TV. Not everyone notices it, not
everyone is bothered by it, but it's there, predominantly with LED and
regular LCDs. The 120 Hz and 240 Hz higher
refresh rates
were developed to minimize motion blur. To some degree this works, but
often the processing to create this cause an ultra-smooth image, which
is called the
"Soap Opera Effect."
SOE, REALLY bothers some people (myself included). Some people like it.
Refresh rate
Winner: Plasma, LED LCD, LCD
It's
important to understand that the only reason LCDs have higher refresh
rates is to combat motion blur. Since plasmas don't have an issue with
motion blur (not nearly to the same extent, anyway), they don't need
higher refresh rates. In reality, the way LCDs and plasmas create
images are so different that you can't compare th refresh rate of one
with the other. Check out
What is 600 Hz?
(plasma) and
What is refresh rate?
(LCD) for more info.
