I notice the difference between 120Hz and 90Hz when watching football (and the Olympics). That's why I wish I had the 650 instead of the 550.
I read that plasmas are higher than 120hz...or rather that it doesn't matter. but they put 120 on there because the LCDs have it....
Please note that I'm not sure it's really the 120Hz that is the issue, although I believe it is. I also don't know how plasma handles sports at all.
watching 120 hz looks fake =\
Oh hell yes this is totally true. (Although I think I could get used to it so I don't have pixelation in my football games,)
Jen that might have been some of the dsp that's known as soap opera effect. My TV came with enabled and I quickly turned it off.
I found a setting in my brother's TV to turn that off, and it was over a year ago so I don't remember exactly, but for some reason I thought the setting had to do with the 120Hz.
Oh, and thanks for calling it the "soap opera effect". Now I know how to describe my annoyance to the people who don't see it.
