Plasma Tv question

[winb83]

Here's my thing. Plasmas supposedly always have a higher refresh rate than LCDs and led's correct?

But do they have a actual feature for the "soap opera" effect like the 120hz and 240hz features on LEDs/lcd's offer? I always see plasmas tout 600hz or more on their feature list but I never SEE this feature in motion them...I never see that effect while playing. I like to have 120hz/240hz on my sharp led at all times when playing games...its make the 30fps games look like 60fps...shyt is very important to me.

Maybe I haven't played on enough plasmas but I swear I never seen one that played games as smooth as the 120hz/240hz modes on all the led I've owned. Somebody school me on that.

The soap opera effect is from the TV inventing frames that aren't really there. I heard some of the top tier Panasonic plasmas can do it to. With video games you're supposed to turn that effect off because its likely delaying the input and creating input lag for you. If the TV adds frames in the game console didn't produce then your input is coming in behind what was shown on screen.

Most TVs have a game mode that turns all the extra features off on the TV. Both of my main TVs remember what input and mode you selected for it so when I play my PS3 that HDMI is auto set to game mode and when I go back to my DVR all the features on that HDMI are turned back on.
