I have one of those DLP LED Samsungs...67-inches of gorgeousness, but no
longer made. Great for high-def TV and blu ray. Watching BSG on Bluray
now. Fantastic. Sometimes, old things dying works to your advantage,
because I swore I would not buy another TV until my last one died. It
didn't quite make it 10 years, but I paid less for this new one and have
a far, far better TV and overall viewing experience.
Duncan, you are lucky!

Greg/Bino,
Thanks for the concise answer. I only shared what I see in ads for the
past many months. Now I know that "240Hz is hype." Off to look at
choices, and, figure out what to do with the very large Pioneer hulk!
Best,
Duncan

120Hz provided real value. Being a multiple of 24 (as in, standard 24fps
film content), it allows for nice smooth 5:5 pulldown, vs the 3:2
that must
be performed when displaying at 60Hz. 240Hz, in contrast, is
marketing. Any
240Hz set that looks better than a 120Hz set has nothing to do with the
refresh frequency and is simply a result of newer/better backlight,
panel,
and/or electronics, etc.
Also note that not all 120Hz TV sets are capable of 5:5 pulldown.

Don't you mean 240Hz?

Try to get 120 HZ as well because it won't blur as much during action
scenes.
