They had a Sammy 120Hz LCD at Fry's showing Transformers on HD-DVD. It looked so unlike the film. I suppose you could get used to it, but it seemed unnerving at times. I believe that's the de-juddering doing its job, but again, not really my bag. It was impressive, but when my wife saw it, she told me that it looked weird.

I personally don't like the motion enhancer stuff, even on the XBR4/5. The good part? It can be turned off an on. (Don't confuse 120hz with Motion Enhancement. They are not the same.) It alters the look/feel too much. It is obvious some must love it, or they couldn't sell it at their premium prices.

Is the only 120hz Sony the XBR?

I think the entry and middle lcd are both 60. There is not a big price difference between the middle and XBR, I may just be better suited waiting for Black Friday and getting a XBR.

Are you referring to Black Friday in Novemeber? That's a long time to wait just to see if this unit goes on sale. Am I missing something?

If I remember correctly, there were no sales on this unit on Black Friday of '07.

Yeah, you were definitely viewing it on a 120hz model tv with AMP (Auto Motion Plus). I personally don't like this effect as it makes films look too fake, but it is great for animated films such as Cars and for video games. Although, AMP can be turned off if you wanted the 120hz tv.

Motion enhancement. Interesting. That probably be it, mate.
