[QUOTE="HuhJustaBox"] Just no on so many levels.
8ms is very very slow and will blur like crazy!
Plasma has always been 480htz unless you are refering to some no name plasma manufacturer.
LCD's are cheaper? Just NO!!! Not even close! You can get the panasonic th50pz85u for around $2000 and the Samsung ln52a650 will run you near $3000 and the panasonic still runs circles around it.
I teach full time and work at Circuit City at night selling tvs. This is my line of work as my first degree was in electronics. Trust me, do the research. The Panasonic th50pz800u is now the highest rated tv in the world. They finally knocked off the Pioneer Kuro plasmas that have been king of the hill for the past several years. Go on CNET.com and other sites to read up on professional reviews if you don't believe me.
As for your computer moniter that has 2ms response time, you should not see any blurring on that at all. I don't follow moniters too much, as when I game, watch movies, etc. it is all on a big screen tv. But if you choose to do it on a moniter that has a 2ms response time, you should not see any blurring.
The only thing that holds plasma back are peoples' misconceptions. Most people looking for a tv ask me for LCD's and I ask why not consider plasma. They always tell me that their uncle's neighbors lawnboy said they were bad. Or they heard they don't last as long, the gases need recharged, they have burn in, etc.
After I educate them and give them the facts that none of that is true and show them the plasma next to the LCD, very few people choose LCD. Plasma now lasts 60,000 to 100,000 hours where LCD's are typically 40,000-60,000. You never need to recharge gases, and burn in is no longer an issue due to pixel shifter tech and the scrolling white bar tech.
Again, plasma all the way. Cheaper, better blacks, deeper truer color, lasts longer, gives much more natural picture, no blurring...then the question comes up....Why even look at LCD. My answer, don't waste your time looking. Not until the get better color, deeper blacks, and get that reponse time to under 2ms.

What about in the Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to get much for $500. Maybe a decent 26 LCD. Plasmas don't come in sizes under 42inches. You would probably be looking at a 26 inch LG or Toshiba, which are not bad, but not the best either.
