I prefer 120 Hz. My opinion, get your feet wet with the 46" 120 Hz. Unless you think the screen size difference between the 46" and the 52" would be something you'll regret later.

What is your price range?

I just bought the Samsung LN52B610 at Sam's for $1697 last week. Happier than a pig in sh!t!

arsh231 · 10-12-2009, 10:16 PM

i can`t go over $2900

callas01 · 10-13-2009, 03:34 PM

personally I would go with size and quality over the 120/240 hz, most LCDs will not have Motion Blur, response times are much better then they were 5 years ago. I would first start with the biggest Sony or Samsung I could get and then add features like 120 hz, etc. on as a benefit to what I was spending my cash on.

Sony BRAVIA XBR Series KDL-52XBR9 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BRAVIA-KDL-52XBR9-52-Inch-1080p/dp/B001VFMA5Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1255569849&sr =8-1

This is only $2,100 and it is a great TV. This will leave you some $$ to start on some surround sound. If you have that already, then just save the $800

... And the shipping is free!!!!

This meets yous size requirement and exceeds the refresh rate you wanted.

The 52" XBR9 is on sale at Best Buy this week for $2099.99, two cents more than Amazon. LOL! And you can pick it up locally. No need to wait for shipping and or worry about exchanging it if you need to. Also, the Samsung LN52B750 is on sale at Best Buy for $1799. (In store, their website still shows $2019) That is over $200 dollars cheaper than Amazon's price which is an amazing deal and it's probably the best LCD out there right now that isn't an LED model.

Take the XBR9 over the Z5100 if you're going to go with SONY.
