OK I'm really confused now.

Up till now my understanding had been that Plasma's are better for gaming because they have faster response times and they generally show better blacks and colours. Now I've been to a couple of shops and they are saying for gaming LCD's are preferred over Plasma's... what gives?

Also, with regards to TV models, which one's would you guys reccomend out of the following:

Panasonic TH-42PZ81B (42" Plasma)

Sony KDL 40W4500 (40" LCD)

LG 42LG6100 (42" LCD)

Samsung LE40A756 (40" LCD)

Seems to be a battle between the Sony and the Panasonic, with the Sony delivering sharper pictures but the Panasonic hits back with better colouring.
