don't spend $1000 on a tv where you could get one for at least a hundred less.

Point in example, my brother just got a 42" vizio, 1080p, 5ms, 120hz, at wal-mart for $850 and that included tax...and the tv is absolutely top notch perfect picture quality!!

 

The sony will have a much better black level, plus the vizio will have noticable input lag.  I don;t think they even have a game mode.  120hz sets also produce more lag.  Some people are really sensitive to input lag like me, Others don;t notice it.

 

 I've never even heard of this nor does it make any sense.  How would it cause more lag? 

It is being fed a 60hz signal which is then converted to 120hz... It adds more the processing which increases lag time.  I cannot speak for the 2009 line up but theres whole threads about it in the AVS forum.  The A650 (120hz) is a good example compared to the A550 (60hz)  The A650 was generally 1 frame behind the A550 which is about 13 MS

I have not read anything relating to the 120hz vizo tvs though

13ms lag? THATS A LOT :O

 

Of course most ppl probably don't notice that much, but I sure can, didn't know that, good info!
