Ditto....Think about it. Your average associate setting up a TV at Walmart? I do have a 120 hz - and never really compared them to the 60hz. Before I bought, I read up as much as I could over on AVS - wrote down settings and reccos from the posters over there. Then I went to the stores that carried the TVs I was looking at and asked for the remotes. I became somewhat of a self styled expert on how to navigate the menus on several different brands. My experience - lots of other shoppers tended to gather round and most of my test runs turned out to be tutorials for the uneducated populace. One thing remained constant - with only a small amount of research - either on AVS or reading reviews rendered me far more knowledgeable than anyone that worked in any of the stores where I shopped. That includes the specialty stores like the now defunct Tweeter......Rob
