Of course, I'm talking about Pioneer Kuros and Panasonic Viera Plasma TVs (10th Generation and above)..........since these are quality plasmas (unlike those China-branded crapheap like Changhong or Skyworth)
I'm asking this cause if it is at least as good as Rear Projection HDTVs, then it shows that plasma TVs can make the cut.

Lag isn't induced due to the type of display, but by the fact that almost all televisions lack internal scalars that are processing the input and outputting it another way.
HDTVs have what's called a "native resolution" and "accepted resolutions." The TV will do everything in its power to display whatever is on screen at its native resolution, so when you give it a resolution that isn't its native resolution, it has to redraw the frame to match.
Let's say you have a nice and shiny 1080p native HDTV. Any input from a Playstation 2 will be 480i (and in some very rare cases, 480p). The TV gets this signal and then has to process the image into a 1080p image, then displays it on your screen. Since -good- scalars are expensive to install, all companies cut this corner by putting in a scalar that "just works". Most instances you won't notice it, but once you put any timing based game on the spotlight, you'll see the lag.
