(600mhz - thats like, alomost 500 more than the bravia lol)
all of that 120hz, 240hz, etc etc stuff is worthless. Well relatively, anyway. For games, it's pointless. What the TV does is analyzes frames from one to the next, and interpolates what the image might be if there were a frame BETWEEN two real frames, then it inserts that extra frame. It smooths things out to a degree, but it not only makes video look like it was shot with a home camcorder (the way it moves... watch a store demo with Pirates of the Caribbean or something, you'll see what i mean), it also adds more input lag because it's another extra step between the incoming signal and the picture element. You can usually turn it off, but since it f*cks up gaming, why spend the extra money if you're not going to use it anyway?
