Rated 57% by by c|net (Mar, 2012)I definitely don't think the tradeoff is worth it, not least because the benefits of high numeric motion resolution are, to my eyes, almost impossible to discern.
Rated 80% by by Mike-Hall (Apr, 2007)The set and box are not heavy and can be handled reasonably well by one person.

LCD
Rated 57% by by c|net (Mar, 2012)The Vizio scored a surprisingly good motion resolution result for a 120Hz TV (see the Geek Box, below), but to get that benefit you'll have to engage the smoothing effects of dejudder.

E Series by L.-cline (Apr, 2013)We love the picture and the screen size is perfect for our master bedroom.
LNT3253H by Steve-R (Jul, 2007)Both the Samsung and my cable box have options for changing the picture size, so that you can expand the square image to fit the wide-screen format.

E Series by DianaI needed a specific size and specific thin depth for the TV, and I wanted it for a great price.
LNT3253H by Norm-S. (Sep, 2007)The set is now a month old, the color incredible, the sound outstanding, the HD 1080 color and depth of picture phenominal.
