Keeping my Plasma Display Notes Here
+
+
+
LG
+
+
Have not looked in detail, but display lag numbers and contrast for LG are all horrible.
+
www.displaylag.com (has higher lag numbers typically)

+
+
+
Panasonic
+
+
The VT60 or ZT60 seem to be the best plasma displays ever produced, the VT50 is a good backup (less lag too).

Need to clean this up more. Kuro had the highest contrast for a long time, but still have concerns about input lag.

Seems like either poor contrast or too much lag, I'd avoid Samsung Plasmas.
