Plasmas work differently. They aren't actually 600hz, but plasmas are amazingly smooth to play games on.

Yea, don't be tricked by LCD TVs that say 120/240Hz etc either, double check it is actually 120.

I had one a couple years back. It did have its positives, but also negatives. I had to have it recalibrated once after moving, it was very heavy, and it didn't look so well when it was cold in the house. Also, it didn't work so well at high altitudes like Colorado.

I'm not familiar with plasma TV technology, recalibrated?

Newer plasmas are much better. I live in colorado springs colorado and mine has no issues.

That whole 600Hz thing really upsets me, because many consumers are confused.
The framerate is still 100 or 120Hz (depending on source)
The 600 is the sub-frame refresh...the little electical pulses that cause the phosphor to illuminate. The 600hz is needed as the decay time is fast (good for preventing ghosting), and to optimise/maximise the brightness of the image.

Exactly, I really like how there is absolutely zero perceptible movement ghosting. When I used to game on my 50" LCD HDTV the ghosting was so distracting as to make some games unplayable. My 120hz monitor isn't too bad though.

Some company might come up with a 5 billion hz display but it's meaningless unless a cable and port spec can supply the bandwidth required to use it. The liming factor is the port and cable bandwidth supplying the content.
