HZ is all about blur in action. So sports, action movies, never go lower than 120hz and bigger shows the flaws more imo -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:34

    - that's what I'm doing - I wish it could be somewhat bigger, but I'd have to replace furniture or rewire or move. ;) - -- nm - b. Dec 15, 15:56 5

  - You are a SF Giants fan. As boring as I find regular season baseball? Baseball looks amazing in HD flat screen. -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:42 1
    - yah, I've seen how good things look. I just haven't been able to justify, to myself, replacing something that works.. until it's gotten annoying - b. Dec 15, 15:57
  - yes on the IM. that is why I spent a few hundred more for the 3D. over time there will be alot more of these to watch. some will even be good :) -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 15:41
