CRT will beat them all, but plasma is better for moving images than LCD.

Does a higher hertz LCD e.g. 100 Hz make any difference?
Indeed it does. The latest LCD technology incorporates 100 hz processing (Sony are also about to release a 200 hz model) which delivers smoother motion. 100hz produces more images per second which means action is smoother than ever before. Especially good for sport etc.
So would a 100 Hz LCD be on a par with a standard CRT?
I have a 50 hz LCD rmelly and the picture quality is excellent, even with fast moving images. A good 100hz LCD will be even better. The latest A656 models from Samsung, W4500 series from Sony and ZF series from Toshiba all incorporate 100hz processing and are highly recommended. Personally speaking, I wouldn't bother with CRT anymore.
So is that 0.2 Hz?
No, that would be 200000000 Hz.
I was in PC world the other day watching a demo Bluray disk they had setup on a HD LCD TV. I wasnt very impressed with the picture, it was brilliant when the image was stationary, but when there was any moving objects or camera panning it was terrible, not very sharp at all.
However, its not promising to read that you saw a BluRay demo on a flat HD panel and weren't impressed!! Now imagine taking that TV home and watching standard definition TV (or God forbid terrestrial TV) on it
Some of the electrical superstores obviously spend no time at all in optimizing the picture quality on the flatscreen TV's that they have on display. To get the best picture, settings need to be carefully tweaked. The "out-of-the-box" settings on some TV's can be horrendous. Also, the quality of cheaper scart or HD cables can be suspect to say the least. I was in DID electrical last week and saw a Samsung LE40A656 LCD TV displaying a Blu-Ray demo of Sydney, Australia. The picture quality was so bad I flagged it to one of the sales people. He just shrugged his shoulders. This is a TV that got 5 stars from What Hi-Fi magazine and load of rave reviews from other sites (including many glowing user reviews from the gurus at AVforums.com). If stores like this want to entice consumer impulse buying of these flatscreens, they better wake up and improve the PQ!!

There is/was a firmware problem in the early models of this TV (Samsung 6000 series), which effected the pricture quality (contrast, colour etc).
