To Compromise the Java Man, November 26, 2010

Another reviewer rates this 5 stars without even plugging it in. I wonder if he is one of the third party sellers….

Anyway, what I would like to add about this particular tv in regards to hz:

LCD televisions that are 60Hz are generally easy on the eyes with no noticeable imperfections until there is fast action or camera panning. A 60Hz television will begin to look jumpy, an effect known as “Judder”. So, please take this into consideration when spending so much money on a tv. 120hz seems to be minimum standard anymore and some are 240hz.

Edit: Someone else commented that TV stations broadcast in 60hz. That is your incoming signal, but your television generates 120hz for the image it displays if you have a 120hz set. Many of the new sets are at 240hz making a 60hz set seem rather archaic.

Another good thing to look for is the contrast. This is where you will notice a lot of difference in the quality of the picture. Plasma is generally the best for contrast but you can’t go wrong with LCD or LED either. Whatever you decide, I would at least get a 120hz, 1080p, minimum.

Great TV for the Price!, January 11, 2011

I received this television as a Christmas gift. For the price the picture, clarity and high resolution display can’t be beat! I compared it to other brands in the store and for the size and cost, there doesn’t seem to be much competition. I would, however, recommend using an external speaker/surround sound system as te audio isn’t the best. Great TV overall!

Excellent TV, December 30, 2010

This was an excellent TV, I just wish I would have paid a little more attention to the Hz and got a TV with higher than 60. I’m sure the clarity would be sharper if I did but overall still a great tv and HD channels look great with it!! Shipped all in one piece no damage either which was a huge plus!
