How does this LCD panel for pcs compare to a Samsung LCD tv with a 10-bit panel, do I get better pictures if I were to go with a Samsung LCD tv? Just wondering.

Are LCD tvs inferior to Plasma screens in terms of producing shades of grey. Panasonic Viera Plasma tv can produce 2086 shades of grey colour and displayers 686 billion colours (I think I should got that right) and that's what I saw in SenQ the other day. LCD tvs might offer higher resolutions than a Plasma tv because when it comes to colour reproduction, Plasma is still light years ahead of LCD technology. Am I right or I've missed out something? There are too many brands out there confusing me, Samsung claims that they have the first LCD panel with 13-Bit colour, some high end dvd players from Denon can output 13-Bit colour via HDMI, there are Plasma panels supporting 18-Bit colour. What does this mean? Marketing gimmick? That all screens can actually display a maximum of 8-Bit colour?

Some LCD panels from Viewsonic, LG, etc has a response time of 2ms but for Sony Bravia X, even with 8ms of response time, the reviewer mentioned that there was no smearing at all even for playing an XBOX 360 game. So, how did they derive to 2ms, grey to grey respnonse, grey to black response.

Hope that someone can be kind enough to clear my doubts. I'm planning to get a HDTV panel for my HT but I'm not sure which manufacturer is giving me a clear picture on what I'll be getting or expecting from the HDTV panel.

There's nothing wrong with LG lah, it's due to personal preferences only, the latest LG LCD monitors are not bad, very good contrast and brightness. You can go to pc shops and have a look at them. You'll be amazed with the performance and price. Not too expensive.
