Plasma's handle motion very smoothly. I think Sports looks the best on a Plasma display compared to any other technology. Unfortunately, many "stats" given by the manufacturers are arrived at by different methods, so you'd be best served by going to a Store with the displays you want to see, and checking them out. Try to use them with real life sources, not the in-store feeds if you can. Pick the one that looks the best, and has the features you want (keep in mind you can always buy from a different store, or online for better deals).
