You all are such noobs. 120Hz has absolutely nothing to do with the weird smooth soap opera effect. That would be the trumotion, cinemotion or whatever the manufacturer calls it. Learn about the technology before you speak or write articles....

Dear John,

You do know that you can turn that down a notch? Most 120hz TVs allow you to set the amount of enhancement. Typically, demos like to set everything on HIGH. It is your job to play around with it and reduce picture settings DOWN so that it's normal. That's the first thing I do whenever I get to play with a TV.

@Noobs-R-Us: Vudu reps couldn't turn it off, so until I hear otherwise that's the story.

@Noobs-R-Us: Actually, they brought this up as a concern before I did, and said they're looking for a solution for future sets. I mean, I hope there's an option to notch this down, but for now I don't think there is.

i was playing with my roommates TV, which is a 120Hz set, and noticed a funny difference between his and mine. it did have a camcorder feel, but it didn't click in my head it was due to the interp. oh, and btw -- geek squad did his tv calibration (don't ask me why he paid for that)and it looks like utter crap. that is why i was messin' with it.

@Nick: DeusExMach needs a star: Actually if the installer was ISF certified which most are and they used the right tools, the LCD screen would look darker but more true aka more like a plasma. You're probably just used to the bright lcd screens and their vivid and dynamic modes, which while more eye grabbing, they actually suck.

@Jay Beezy: actually, i don't know if they were certified and i could use the "right" tools as well on any project. BUT the proof is in the puddin' and this guy did a crap job. the biggest error was the fact the brightness was turned up higher than a cosmetics counter at macy's
