Sadly, most disc reviewers usually don't indicate what TVs they're using when writing reviews. As an example, there is a new review of the 3-D HUGO at Blu-Ray.com saying that crosstalk is prevalent throughout the disc. (Incidentally, I saw what ghosting was when I saw my first 3-D TV demo on a Samsung back in 2010). So my question is this: Is ghosting/crosstalk a result of the disc or the TV? Would that 3-D disc of HUGO look better on a different display than the reviewer used? I've also read that (supposedly) there is never any ghosting on Plasma displays. Is that true? Thanks

You may have to bounce around a bit but these two posts answer at least some of your questions -

P.S.
In the vast, and I mean VAST majority of cases, ghosting is display dependent. Just about all displays (watch the YouTube clip from the second link above) have crosstalk due to leakage from channel to channel but, in essence, some displays show no ghosting at all as the crosstalk lies below the human visibility threshold.
