Of course, the dirty little secret here is that there aren't any 120hz HDTV sources that can really take advantage of this. Not HD-DVD, not Blu-Ray, not ATSC television transmissions.

These TV's are designed to take a 60hz signal, interpolate frames, and pump out twice as many frames as the input. So it's not "real" 120hz.

I have yet to see any actual tests on these, personally, but I would find it hard to believe there aren't big problems with this approach. These sets *may* make motion appear smoother (which can be a problem on LCD's), but at what cost? Resolution? Maybe - those interpolated frames can't possibly be as sharp as the real ones. That's what I'm curious about.
