Alan--
Have you seen a well calibrated LCD RPTV? They'll never match a CRT for black levels, but my Sony GWIII has really come to life -- and matched what I saw in DLPs -- when calibrated. The black crush has been virtually eliminated, and can clearly see details in even the darkest movies. Have never seen the motion issues you described in this TV, but that problem is *exactly* what drove me from the DLPs I saw.
For anyone else, in case you don't already read AVSForum, there are threads over there started by umr who has become pretty much *the* authority on calibrating Sony televisions. His notes on tweaks in the Service Menu in Sony LCD RPTVs are easy to follow, and make an incredible difference.
Even my wife, who would readily acknowledge that she doesn't care about this stuff, loves our Sony GWIII. Of course, she noticed the difference with the Axiom speakers as well.
