Plasma generally has a pretty fast refresh rate, and does perform pretty well. In some cases, ghosting is a result of the signal being sentm and can result from a variety of variables, such as signal compression and time compression.
I understand your point of view, however, but there's nothing I can advise at this time.

Hi,
I bought my PS42Q97HDX in February 2008, having been advised that Plasma units had a faster response time thabn LCD TVs and were subsequently better to watch (fast moving) sport. The picture is good on slow moving pictures, and programs such as the news are perfect. However, my passion is Motorsport including F1 and Rugby. I am very disappointed with the "ghosting" around fast moving content. My old CRT TV gives a perfect picture from the same aerial. Could anyone advise if this a known issue with this model please?
My thanks & Best regards,
Alan
