I have very limited knowledge of all of this, and in fact this particular thread has greatly expanded my understanding of how my HD works.
I wanted to point something out regarding the "soap opera" effect-SOA-(which I understand very well from a visual perspective).
My friend and I have the exact same LG model LCD-HD, only his is 120hz and mine is 240hz. The SOA is considerably more noticeble on his TV than mine, to the extent that I don't see it on mine but do on his.
It appears that 120hz leads to 5:5 pulldown, but from there I'm not sure why the SOA is still present as the odd framing rate is resolved. Shouldn't that clear the "judder", or is that something different than SOA?
With my 240hz, the math says that's a 10:10 pulldown. Is that correct? Could that alone be reason for why I don't see the SOA on my TV compared to his? I will admit that I'm not sure of the status of Truemotion for either TV atm. Is there something about 120hz which doesn't clear the SOA but 240hz would?
Either way, djwilons post seems vastly exaggerated regarding the ineffectiveness of LCD-HD's. My TV picture is beautiful, everyone comments on it's awesomeness, blu-rays (especially Avatar) are a dream to see, and standard DVD's even shine like never before. Gaming of course rocks.

Poopy was kinda strong language. It is a matter of taste and Aemon is my new favorite.
