I've seen a few high def tvs. I like half of them, though not enough to displace my old set. The ones I didn't like though are apparently the more expensive ones. What happens is motion looks really bizarre on these. I don't know how to describe it, but watching a show on it just feels... weird as the camera moves. At first, I thought it was because these things are so big that it was messing with my brain. But, I brought this up on another forum and I was told that's a feature in the hardware: apparently the expensive sets interpolate frames into regular shows and display more movement. So, instead of 23 fps, we get, I think, 30 fps, though I'm not sure, out of the same original material. Anyway, everyone insists this is "better" and I think it is weird just because I'm "so used to seeing shit". But blargh, I still don't like it.
