After four months of buying my hi def system in pieces, I finally got it all put together on Tuesday night. It includes the PS3(of course), the Yamaha RX V661, a Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system, a Sony five disc cd changer, and my Sony turntable (viva la vinyl!), but the most mindblowing piece of equipment is the 52 inch Sony XBR 4 with 120hz of pure bliss mounted on my wall.

I don't really have a technical question, I just wanted to know if anyone else here has a 120hz tv and what they think of it. So far, I have watched Potc, Casino Royale (the end scenes of the water- wow), Big Fish and Superman Returns. And I am speechless at the picture quality that Blu-ray presents on this display. The color, contrast and motion were as smooth and perfect as you could get even trumping the output of the digital projection at the cinema I work for.

At first, it looked kind of strange viewing an image so lifelike and vivid, that I didn't know what to make of it. I couldn't get over the fact that it looked like I was right there in the scene with them. I am so used to seeing everything in standard resolution from my dvd collection. But after a few minutes I began to realize that this is just the beginning of my hi def experience and that it will only get better from here.

The guy who helped my hook this up has the XBR 3 and even he noticed the difference right away. So, for those of you with a 120hz display, what do you think of it? I will post pics of my setup later on this afternoon.
