I'm trying to get a better understanding of the jutter you speak of. I look at the Sonys pretty often. I've noticed no pixelation with a good signal unless it was a live sporting event or something similar. And in these cases it was still very minor.
Most HD demos are still frames..was this just a cable or OTA feed?
Thanks

The juttering was most obvious when a "square" of text slowly moved across the screen. It would say still for a split second, then jump a ways, then be still again. Sort of hop across the screen maybe five to ten times a second.

The feed was some sort of collection of what looked like it was filmed by a camera mounted on an airplane flying over interesting views, Europe or mountainscapes.

It looped every few minutes so come to think of it I'm not sure of where it has come from.

Only a very careful look at the sweeping nature sceens would reveal this juttering, it sort of got lost in all the detail and colors of the countryside.

We'll have to agree to disagree about human caused global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along.

  The anomaly you experienced was most likely due to the different frame rates of the video and the over layed text. The torture test for video processing is to view video originally sourced from a 24fps source with 30fps text scrolling in the manner you experienced. The text will invariably exhibit some sort of "judder" as you are viewing two different frame rates on the same screen.

    That's probably it.

  I'm not sure what could be the problem there, too many variables to know. I do know the Sonys have one of the best pictures on the market. Their menu interface is one of my favorites!
  I'm sure once you got one of these units home and tweaked it. You'd be more than satisfied with the picture quality.
  This is why it is so important not to judge any of these TVs in a store. You just can't do it. You'd be amazed at how much the picture changes for the better with a few adjustments.
  As you've mentioned above the LCD is the best approach for those of us that use their panels for more than normal TV watching. I've installed a few video games on my PC feeding the 52" just so any kids in the family could entertain themselves without me worrying about the burn in.
  What ever you do please mount the unit to a wall if you can. lol
  Too many times I see people sticking TVs like this in a cabinet. It just doesn't make much sense too me as the panel was built to give you more space. It also looks really cool as well! ;-)
  I'm on a mission to have all my TVs wall mounted and linked to PCs. This way I can use a blue tooth keyboard and mouse in any room that has a TV. Next is the master bath and the kitchen.
