Same with me..

Quote from DEAL EEL : In before people whining about 60Hz. Good price.

60hz is fine for 99% of viewers. Can you tell the difference if a 60hz and a 120hz are side by side? Probably, depending on what you're viewing. Is the difference that big to the average viewer. Probably not.

Quote from willwillywilson : 60hz is fine for 99% of viewers.

Exactly.
And 120Hz is fine for only about 50% of the viewers (with the weird "soap opera" effect).

I'll take a tv that is fine for 99% over one that is fine for 50%.

$398 at Wal-Mart

Yea I just called Amazon, Tiger Direct doesn't list the price online so she didn't give me the price match :/ How did you guys get the price match?

Quote from coolhand : The longer the pixel transition, the more potential for blur regardless of refresh rate.

If your TV is showing 60fps, you need a pixel transition of greater than ~15ms to start seeing blur related to actual pixel transition. So 2ms and 8ms refresh rate will give you the same result as far as blur goes.

Having said that, from the picture quality perspective, shorter the pixel transition time would leave more of the 15 ms frame viewing time to display the frame with a fully changed pixel. Whether you'll see a difference between a 2ms typical transition time vs 8ms transition change, I don't know.
I suspect that you probably would have to look hard to notice the difference.

Same question here.

Quote from audiokingman : Thumbs UP for 60Hz. Most manufacturers have started realizing that the marketing hype gimmicks of 120Hz, 240Hz, etc...are not superior. Thumbs DOWN for a cheap edge-lit LED backlighted LCD tv. Standard flourescent backlights are superior for picture quality in most cases until you get FULL/LOCAL DIMMING LED backlights.....which are at a way higher price point.

While this is probably a good rule of thumb, the standard flourescent backlit 40" TCL that FP'd here at $300 a few months ago has major issues with splotches of white splayed across the screen as well as similar bright spots near edges. These aren't visible except on a black background, but when they are, it's extremely distracting. You could change your brightness/contrast/backlight settings to mitigate this, but that of course affects the picture quality in other ways and is not an ideal solution. This particular 43" set has no such issues (I've owned both), doesn't look brighter at the center than at the top, and is fairly evenly lit for an edge-lit TV. It does seem to have a similar 'red haze' effect on a black/blank background, as my 24" Dell LED does, but this is much harder to pick up than the awful splotches on the 40" (I tried two of them before returning). So at the $329 price, I think this thing is pretty solid.

I personally find that motion interpolation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moti...erpolation) is really annoying except for sports.

The only reason I'd want a 3D 120Hz/240Hz TV is for the simultaneous split screen.

This model does have LED's behind the panel with local dimming according to the product page.

I too tried to get Amazon to PM, to no avail. So when I received the obligatory customer service survey after the fact, I included information in my post for Amazon to add BJ's Wholesale Club in their list of merchants they PM with. Especially, since Sam's Club and Costco are on the list. If everyone else that tried to get this PM to go through is bothered by this fact, let Amazon know. This is how changes in policy happen.
In the meantime, I drove out to my local BJ's and was able to pick the second to last one in their store. I had to pay taxes, but at least I have a local store I can take this TV back to if I have any problems.
Reps to the OP!
