120HZ TVs....

Posted by grantv on March 9, 2009 at 12:26:08:
A buddy of mine invited me over to watch his new 120Hz TV last night (Samsung). We watched some HDTV and Dark Knight BD. My first impressions:
-Pos: VERY clear. Text, edges etc are very sharp, concise
-Neg: Cartoon like almost
This is where the problem lied with me. Neither the HD broadcasts we scanned through or the movie looked as real as any of our standard CRT's, LCD's or even my 4 year old Infocus X1 projector. I was positive with my feedback to him as he just poured out the moula, but as soon as I got in the car I asked my wife what she thought. "I don't know, it looked fake to me. Not as good even as our TV's. Sharper, more defined, yes. But not nice to watch".
What's the deal? Brand new high-end technology, yes? Anybody else experience the same? Good explanation?
