Sorry meant fluorescent with a dash of mercury.

Stan,
Thanks for the share. Perhaps I will focus on LEDs. I do not think my
living room can support plasma w/o some major renovation ATM.
Your use of "incandescent" is curious. Do you mean old BULB tech? Like
old "filiment" stuff like current/old light bulbs?

Most LCD's are incandescent back lit. There are LED backlights that
have been coming out the last couple years and they're good but still
an incomplete solution. Organic LED's don't require any backlighting
because the LED's themselves provide the light and color themselves.
If I'm mistaken on any of this please feel free to correct me. I only
know what I've read. OLED's are the future, be pollution free and be
energy cheap to operate.

Stan,
Please share what you mean by "OLED?"
Since you seem to be a "pockets" sorta person, perhaps you can add
to this very confusing matrix. I do so hope this is not another
emotional rant generator.
Based on my crude calcs, I am shopping a 58-6x "something" panel.
Yes, this means major $$$. So What? I spent $$$ in 1996 also; and,
have enjoyed my video/TV thus far...(well, until it went TU!) LOL!
Now, I use a Viewsonic N2635W. Yes, smaller; but, a really nice
presentation for OTA TV. And, I am still doing research.
Best,
Duncan

The ? is, how deep are your pockets? Get 240 if it pleases you, I'm
still waiting for OLED backlights. :-)

HTH can 240hz be "hype"? It's an improvement over 60 and to a

120 sure, but hype?
So when they stop making 120's, you'll stop buying TV's or are you
just
saying don't spend ape shit money to get the 240 over the 120 if
buying new?
120Hz provided real value. Being a multiple of 24 (as in, standard
24fps
film content), it allows for nice smooth 5:5 pulldown, vs the
3:2 that
must
be performed when displaying at 60Hz. 240Hz, in contrast, is
marketing.
Any
240Hz set that looks better than a 120Hz set has nothing to do
with the
refresh frequency and is simply a result of newer/better
backlight,
panel,
and/or electronics, etc.
Also note that not all 120Hz TV sets are capable of 5:5 pulldown.

Don't you mean 240Hz?

Try to get 120 HZ as well because it won't blur as much

scenes.
