I definitely agree about the PQ of the Viewsonic. I feel the same way about Phillips as I think the PQ is soft and the colors not as punchy.

I really wanted the 120hz but it just cost too much for me, at least 50% more in price. I didn't get it b/c of the money. They way I figured not to do it, maybe this will help you, was that I decided the tv I got would eventually go to the bedroom and I would but a bigger tv down the line. By the time that happens the price will drop a lot. Also, the LED back light lcd's are coming around soon.
