Uhh, isn't 240Hz refresh like... over-the-top much?

@Eruanno: Of course it's not!

240 is more than 120. Come on! Use your maths! That's twice as good!

I don't care about uber-thinness. I care about getting the best picture possible in a 52"-54" sized television for less than $2500.

And as for the 240Hz refresh, that isn't really doing it for me. Tell me that it has a view angle like a CRT or even a plasma, which is more and more what I'm probably going to go with.

@OMG! Ponies!: You should be able to find a 54" Panasonic V10 for under 2500. That's a damn nice TV.

@OMG! Ponies!: I'm with you there, the thinness alone isn't enough to make me consider one of these. Although this TV is sexy as hell

@OMG! Ponies!: 200 Hz Refresh on a 50inch LCD I just got in europe is incredible. People always ask me whether they're watching Full HD when we're watching normal SKY digital channels (its a UK tv service). Basically, I believe the refresh rate is whats making the pictures look so incredibly realistic.

Stay away from the plasma's that's just moving backwards.

@OMG! Ponies!: I suggest you direct your attention at this years LED tv from Samsung.

Thin as tv pictured above, 120Hz, and 5 million :1 contrast ratio.

Go see one a showroom or something, honestly the viewing angle is as good as a plasma or crt (what are you doing watching like a stalker at the side of the room anyways?), and the picture is phenomenal.

[www.samsung.com]

Almost, to me, seems like this new TV is their response to that Samsung LEDtv.

Oh yes almost forgot if price point is an issue i believe the 7 series is actually on sale at Sears for around 2,500 for the 55in.

@OMG! Ponies!: I second CE_Salesman's suggestion. I just picked up a 50" Panasonic G15 a couple of weeks ago and it's pure sweetness. Either that or the more expensive (and nicer) V10 will get you THX certification and a picture to die for. Especially for the price. I've never been happier with a TV.

@ts-x: Thanks to all. I'm not buying until after a cross-country move next year anyway, but I do try to stay up-to-date with what's out there. I want the best bang for my buck and I want it to last.
