Exclamation I want a new TV for the Blu-ray of District 9, but I don't know what to get.

A pretty simple question, I'm getting District 9 on bluray next month and I want to get the absolute BEST and most REALISTIC visual experience as possible. I've gone to multiple Best Buys and Sears, and both have told me that the new plasmas are the way to go. However, after doing some research online, I've seen where people have said the 600hz subdrive is all a part of marketing and that it really doesn't blow LCD or LCD-LED tvs out of the water in that department. I've seen stuff being said to the likes of "With motionblur the 200Hz (Sony) is the refresh rate of the frames displayed but with Panasonic's its the refresh rate of the colour to produce deep rich colours hence the 2 million contrast ratio."

And then there's this: "The difference is that the subfielf technology they use is it pushes out 600 frames and picks the best one and displays it. You will not see a difference with Video output when even Blu ray does around 25fps. The a slight difference would probably come from video games but then again not big enough. My point is it DOES NOT have 600hz refresh rate. It refers to the rate of it selectively picking the best frames hence the sub-field."

I mean, I'd really, really like to get the most realistic experience while watching this film, especially when you consider that D9 features a lot of guerilla-style and documentary filming technique, and then you have the giant mechsuit at the end that had very noticeable motion-blur on the big screen and on its R5 DVD rip.

So, since I'm not as TV-suave, what do I go with? Who can give me a very unbiased and informative post as to which TV I should go with? Is it plasma or the new LCD-LED tvs?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and help me out.

Oh, and when I say I want the most 'REALISTIC' look, I mean that I want to feel like I'm standing within the enviorment, I'm not big on the film/grain look like everybody else.

Basically, what I want to know is, will the 600hz sub-drive in the new plasmas (specifically the Panasonic brand) really enhance the motion of the aliens and mechsuit in this film, and give it a very detailed picture even while in fast-motion?

Sorry for the confusion.
