Motion judder. The thing is until you have plasma you can't appreciate the qualities of it.
I've just got a samsung LED from Best Buy. Fantastic store, prices are very good for most items, they have everything electrical you need. Everything is set up so you can test them out.
if you have an iphone download one of those barcode scanner apps and scan the barcode of the tv you want. if you find it cheaper in another store Best Buy will pay the difference plus 5%. I got £55 off my tv this way and it was still cheaper than any price i found on the net.
They are quite new to the UK but are massive in the states. Quite a few stores across the UK now

Got mine from Currys, purely for convenience. I didn't both with credit so can't comment on that.
If you take the best deal you can find on the net on a certain TV that Currys sell, they usually price match it. I saved £300 on my 40" Samsung, and picked it up immediately!
I have 2 x LED LCD's the better one being the Samsung, and a 50" LG plasma, and trust me....the plasma is defiantely the best quality wise. Smooth movement and looks really natural. LED LCD's are basically the same as LCD's but backlit (or side lit in most cases) by LED's enabling them to be extremely thin) This also gives a good contrast and very good blacks.
The old mans got a bravia and to be honest, I prefer the samsungs generally! its all personal opinion though!
Just dont fall into the trap of being sold £8,00000 hdmi leads in curry's! lol

Don't buy cheap HDMI cables. If you want the best picture get gold plated ones. They aren't cheap but are worth it
HDMI is a digital interface that uses signalling protocols to negotiate the connection at each end.
If you buy a £2 Tesco value cable and it works you will not improve the signal quality by buying a more expensive cable.
The only consideration here is if you have lots of electrical interference or long distances to travel.
If you can pick out a non-gold plated hdmi lead from a gold plated lead in a test on picture quality, you my man, are a true champion! lol
Below taken from a Tech Site:
All HDMI cables use copper conductors - with different gauges of copper used.
Some manufacturers will apply a silver coating to the copper conductors as they believe it has benefits in terms of reducing signal drop across the length of the cable.
HDMI plugs also vary in how they are coated (or not) - pretty much all HDMI plugs will apply gold plating to the inner pins (the bits you don't see unless you look into the end of the cable) and some will also apply some form of gold plating to the outer shroud.
Gold plating on the outer shroud of the plug is intended to minimise the affects of corrosion. Nothing to do with picture quality.

It's also fact that gold plating can actually deteriorate the signal. Ideally you want a single material to conduct your signal from source to destination.
Connecting two gold plated copper connectors will give worse signal quality than connecting two pure copper connectors. The only benefit of the gold plated connectors is that they don't corrode over time as much as copper connectors.
It's true that an mid level cable will give less signal loss than a basic 99p homebase cable (Debatable if you can see/hear the difference) and it's true that a heavily shielded cable will give benefits if your cables are in a particularly noisy environment with lots of interference but generally, stick with the £10-£20 cables IMO.

I use Mark Grant cables. Great price considering the good build quality. and not 2 million quid like the 'monster' cables curry's try and flog you!
