Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Has anyone ever seen an actuall 100Hz set running?
I work at CE retail store and I can tell you from experience that every 100Hz and + set that I got to see in the last year is pure unadulterated crap with slightly sped up motion that makes every movie look like a joke 1930's newsreel. I'm exagerating a bit, but how can it seriously not be subject of constant ridicule for HD blogs?
I'm not a fan of it either.. Every set I've seen with it running doesn't do it consistently, it kinda jerks around every now n then and it's very annoying.
Because you're not setting the TV's correctly. Out of the box, the 120Hz mode is a disaster, and looks exactly like you are describing it. Set correctly (probably on low mode, but that depends on the TV), and it will smooth out motion as intended. Yes, there will be occasional artifacting/tearing, but nowhere nearly as bad as what you get with out-of-the-box settings.
That said, for $4,200, get a damn Pioneer Elite.
My tv has the 120Hz and I must say that for most movies I don't like it. It makes movement so smooth that it feels like a soap opera or actually being there instead of watching a movie. It seems counter-intuitive, like you'd want it to be as real as possible, but it's really not the case for me. However, I will say that on anything animated -like Pixar movies or Video Games- it's brilliant. For those, I don't want any grain and it does a great job smoothing out any aliasing/juddering . This is all just my take...
