I kind of have the opposite problem. In the store I didnt notice a blur difference between the LCDs and plasmas, but maybe it was hard to tell or maybe I was just more focussed on the picture quality and colors because that was more obvious. I ended up buying an LCD and now that I have it home the blur is bothering me in panning scenes. The more I read, and the more that people seem to say I won't notice that on a plasma, I am leaning towards going back and possibly exchanging it for a plasma. I figure for the cost of these things, I shouldnt get dizzy from watching them!

Once the ball was received, it would look great again.

But my LCD (Samsung 32LNA330) is by no means top of the line. In fact, it's a budget tv. Yet it does not exhibit the motion blur that I saw on other models. Action in movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Spiderman 3 looked great. Action on games (GTA IV and Assassin's Creed) is great.

So it got me thinking, part of it may be that to my eyes, some "blur" to me is acceptable, so I don't really "see" it. Yet, the blur bothered me on other TV's.

Which makes me wonder, could having brightness set too high affect blur?
