...just for clarification.

I have a Sony XBR4, and even though it does have a 120Hz panel, there IS judder once in awhile. Even with the Motion Enhancer turned up to High, you can still get judder during some slow pans on occasion. It's a perfect idea, but certainly not a perfect application.

Well, just FYI- if you have Motion Enhancer on, then typically it turns off any kind of proper 5:5 pulldown. Typically you can have one or the other.


...though I was in a store and a guy turned both on at the same time on an XBR6.

Yes, very true. I should have mentioned that Sony's Cinemotion settings have more to do with pulldown than the Motion Enhancer, but the interpolated frames are supposed to "smooth motion" with ME and that, they do, but it also brings that "interpolatey" look to the picture.
