I've only noticed it on LCD screens. A friend of mine has a new Mitsubishi 92" rear projection DLP, and it doesnt do it either.

How can I possibly watch his TV?

He is in America, I am in the UK, and I am banned from America until 2017...

Please dont bring me into these threads... Thanks...

how does that look, was going for that then changed to the 80 LCD

I bought a 40" Samsung Smart LED TV the other day. It's very practical, it has a built in satellite tuner and you connect a hard drive to it for recording TV shows, you can stick USB sticks in the back and watch video clips like that. What I don't like are the colors and posterizing but this may be due to the heavy compression on satellite broadcasts, but when they broadcast older movies (60s, 70s) I usually do like the colors.

how is the BD? i like a big ass TV to watch when I'm not shooting and editing...

mine is so big i can not get it in the fucking house.

I need one.

I just picked up a brand new 46" Samsung LED and its amazing.....

Only 2 cm thick, uses 70 watts full out, and the sound is pretty decent too considering the older versions of thin TVs.

Yes, the 'soap opera effect' is a problem LCDs with motion interpolation ("perfect motion", "motion enhancement" etc) suffer from. Playing 24fps video on a 120hz screen means that every frame will be shown 5 times. When using motion interpolation, your LCD TV shows every frame once but generates the other 'intermediary' frames. So basically when playing video at 24fps on a 120hz screen with motion interpolation 4 out of 5 frames are not original frames but something your TV's processor generated.

Note: Before you buy a new TV, check the audio output jacks. Many new TVs don't come with RCA audio L/R outputs, they have Digital Audio connections, Coax on left, Toslink Optical on the right. Digital Coax uses asingle orange color coded "RCA" connection. These support "AC3" Dolby Digital (5.1, etc.), DTS, S/PDIF.

The better TV's have more options, know what you want and check the back of the TV out.
