This is a 60Hz LCD while the latest and greatest is 120Hz but I'm not too bothered by that. The price premium for a 120Hz is too much to justify a this point. This Sharp is good but the one knock against it is the banding issue that seems to plague some large Sharp panels. Not every unit has banding.

Check out this review.
Banding issue was more on 2005-2006 models. I have a Aquos 52" since early 2007 and no issues with it, although I did buy the worst buy's warranty but never used.

I have read articles in HT mag where people had to reduce to 24Hz to get a normal picture. Putting the cart before the horse.
