I’m planning on purchasing a 50″ plasma (Samsung 5064), but I’ve heard that plasma’s are not as good for gaming systems (xbox 360). Will the 5064 plasma with 720p and 15000:1 not do the job as well as a lcd?
Thanks for the help so far, but does anyone know anything about “lag” (not internet lag) that happens on bigger screens? Is a plasma more susceptible to that?

How much more energy does a Plasma TV consumer compared to a LCD TV? Everyone says Plasma consumes more energy than a LCD, but by how much? Twice as much as a LCD? Newer versions of plasmas are now ‘Energy Certified”, does that mean they still consumer more energy than LCD, but overall, does not take that much compared to a traditional CRT TV?

Example:
Samsung 55 inch LED TV:
