it's how smooth the picture is, the higher the better really, top of the range samsung LEDs are 800hz I think. My Panasonic plasma is 600hz.
Your best to go in store and actually compare the picture quality of the tv's.

Forget the TV, go to specsavers lol
My plasma is just as thin as my mates led. You should be able to notice the difference in picture quality, hd is a different planet compared to normal stuff. You won't notice until you see decent quality.

Completely agree 50hz is ok but for the lounge but I'd really recommend at least 100hz. We've got a samsung 50hz led tv in the kitchen and its good but when I watch it and then go and watch our 100hz lcd sony the difference is picture quality really is noticable.
I think the samsung tv you're looking at is a great looking tv just a shame its not 100hz.

50hz is the amount of times every second that the picture refreshes, 50hz is the same as the old style box tv's, generally the higher the refresh rate the smoother the picture, so things like football, rugby, snooker etc look smoother. Don't get too hung up on it though as a human eye has a effective refresh rate of 120hz, so realistically your not gonna see a difference after this anyway. Your better off buying a tv based on personal preference that reviews from people as everyone will see the picture differently, one person may see a panasonic as the absolute best picture another may see sony, its the same with sound, go with what your happy with.

I think thin edges!
What does plasma do that LED/LCD doesn't, don't they get really hot and chew electric? lol

Plasmas offer better contrast ratios in the picture so darker blacks and brighter whites, surely electricity the thing uses isn't going to be an issue, if it is, don't run the kettle at the same time
That one looks like a newer model of mine.
Hz is the refresh rate. It's another one of those figures that companies like to bang around, bigger the number the better etc but tbh if you notice a difference between say 100hz and 300hz when watching tv then you probably have hyper sensitive eyes. All manufactures have there own "processing" gizmos within the tv that will artificially increase the hz so double the frame rate if you like.
Also its most likely more than 50hz anyway, when I was looking for one several different sites showed different hz for the same tv.
I use mine for tv, sky hd, blu ray and Xbox and its perfect at all of the above.

When I bought a TV I just walked in to the shop, watched all of them and bought the one I thought had the best picture. Easy.

Lol, that's about the worst way to choose a tv. With them all set on shop display mode....
If all of them are set to maximum, surely it's just as easy to spot which is worse?

Im tempted to get that
Edit only thing that keys it down for me is lack of hdmi and the ability to record

I've done a lot of TV research lately - the samsung posted looks ok but its extremely thick. All depends on what you need it for ie gaming, blu rays, SD or HD material. My budget was £500 and the best TV will get for that money is this.

Yeah the bezel is a bit ugly but the PQ is stunning - don't be put off by plasma scare stories about screen burn and energy consumption - they simply are not true if you know how the technology works. I'm not bothered about 3D but as a complete package you will not beat it for the money.
