most of what i watch on the tv is sports. i'd say 70% of what i watch is sports, 25% is regular cable tv, and the other 5% is movies and gaming…so i guess the most important thing to me is not a lot of blur and a crisp picture.
as far as price goes i really dont want to spend that much money, i know that LED is kind of expensive right now but is it really worth it? if its really that much better than plasma and LCD then i guess i can wait a few more months to save up the money for it, but if plasma or LCD is just as good for what im looking to do it might be better to save some money =)
also i usually have the tv on a lot throughout the entire day, it helps me sleep to have it on and makes me more productive when im doing homework for some reason lol. so if the amount that its used makes a difference keep that in mind.
Answer:
If you want itfor sports, plasma is a good choice for you.It have better picture, deeper black than LCD tv and also have no motion blur with 600Hz and faster response time also with cheaper price.
Good brand for plasma that I would suggest is Panasonic or another good brand is Samsung.

However plasma is good for dark room, if you have bright room LCD is a better choice for you because it is not suffer from glare.Samsung and Sony are good quality brand to get, here are some good choice,

LED TVs might appear to be some new technology but it is the same LCD based technology that is used in Laptop screens. So in that regard there is nothing that goes against it when it comes to its performance. I can assure you they are as good as any rear projection system around.
If you are into watching sports most of the time, it would be a good idea to buy Plasma as they provide more sharp and blur free images along with certain other advantages over LCD. Plasmas have richer colours and deeper blacks.
I bet if you spend a fortune to buy one of these TVs, you are better off changing your habit of going to sleep with the TV on and doing your homework more efficiently with it lol. You will burn it out pretty fast as these TVs don't have a very long life time. 10 hours a day means the TV might be dead within 7-8 years.
In my view, if one can afford to wait, then it is always a great idea as you get newer technology and be futureproof. LED TVs are the future and Plasmas are on their way out (too high power consumption)
Make sure whatever you buy has Response time less than 2ms. Higher refresh rates makes pictures more fluid. There are some with 600Hz around.
