As a TV I honestly doubt it. As a computer monitor yes. They are quite expensive though. |

I understand the motion plus is an extra thing - but holy fuk is it fuking awesome! |
I don't doubt its effectiveness, but as a rule of thumb, I steer clear of software hacks to "improve" visual quality. I am ing picky with this type of . |

I'm quoting number 4 from this page that I just googled up. I think this explains best what I saw when I was watching DVD's with the 120Hz activated:
| quote: | | 4. Eliminating judder is not for everyone. Judder is part of what makes film look like film, so when you remove it, it starts to look like video. Now, some folks like the look of video and contend that it looks more true-to-life. Both Matthew Moskovciak and I are judder-free fans. On the other hand, David Katzmaier likes the effect only in certain scenes--he generally prefers to leave it turned off during Hollywood films and turned on for some other film-based content, such as the nature documentary Planet Earth--because, in some instances, it can really alter a scene, or at least take away from what the director intended the scene to look like. This is called "director's intent," and movie purists would argue that anti-judder tarnishes the viewing experience much in the same way that performance-enhancing drugs might change the outcome of a sporting event. OK, maybe that's a stretch, but I couldn't help myself. |

EDIT: Whoops sorry, I got a little ahead of myself with that quote. 120Hz is meant to remove 'Judder' in between video frames. Read the article for more info. |

I hate judder too, but I don't like what it does to movies that have it. It is something that is just a fact of life at this point. |

Yeah, I've been hearing talks of 120Hz PC LCD's coming to market soon in a more general user market. However, I thought the same technology of the TV's might intrude on the PC world as well. I'm also looking forward to LED backlighting for PC LCD's as well, but that I doubt we'll see decent prices on those for quite some time. |

That's what I mean, I did NOT like the removal of the Judder between frames. It made it seem like the movie was recorded on a home video camera. |

This thread makes me laugh.
First of all at 32" you will not see the difference between 720p and 1080p unless you are like a foot away from the panel so don't spend the extra money. It is worth it to get a set that can accept 1080p over HDMI though that way if you want you can output 1080p from your PS3 or whatever else you might get in the future if you really want to.
The whole LCD vs Plasma debate that happened in the thread was retarded. Realistically Plasma's have better picture quality there is no argument on that front, they are scientifically more accurate with color, can have a better contrast ratio and better black level.
LCD's come in more sizes and are better option for anything under 42".
Both LCD's and Plasma's have about the same reliability, same cost to fix etc.
Plasma burn in issue has been pretty much fixed for all brand name plasmas. This is not to be confused with image retention though which plasmas do have.
Rob you are at a very hard price point where if you spend a bit more you can get something much bigger. The problem is A. does it fit your room and how far back you'll be watching and B. is that something you really want to do. |

So I did a quick bit of googling.
The results for 120hz are not impressive.
See: CNET http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6792632-1.html
A lot of people on forums have hated it becasue it seems like the movie iss wayy too fast or hardly notice anything at all.
Seems like this technology will need time to develop. Right now, not worth it. |

$600 = £413
With only a 1 year warranty, the tv cost me $580, and tvs are usually cheaper in the states than in the UK ;) |
