Hertz is jus the frequency from my understanding, and human eye can catch up no greater than 60 Hertz, like waving ur palm in front of ur eyes and u'll see blurry fingers. Higher hertz in tv means the refresh rate is higher so when u watched smth moving fast example football match, u will see the ball nicely, unlike lower frequency the ball will appear like a comet with its tail, so called ghosting.

Sinus out here please correct me if I'm wrong. Just trying to share

40" Sony you can opt for EX520 series which is last year model, price is around RM2000 now. For this year model, you can opt for EX650/EX653, RRP is RM2599, but can get it around RM2200. Both are top end non-3D, smart TV from Sony. Refresh rate is 50Hz but with the processor, it can be boosted up to 100Hz.

If you watch a lot sport like football, the refresh rate still a bit slow for 100Hz.

EX520 u need to purchase seperate WiFI dongle for the smart function pricing at RM199, but for EX650/653 u don't have to get the dongle, as its built in ready.

I'm using EX520, so far no issue at all. Recommended if you prefer a more natural color than extreme vivid color.

I'm not using Samsung, so let others feed you with better information from their experience.

I think u can see the comparison here -> http://asia.cnet.com/led-vs-plasma-vs-lcd-tvs-62213538.htm

From the link information, every TV will.

Tough question. I'll opt for LED tv then, but many still pref plasma still. They have their own market and target of consumers.
