Two grand is a steal for a 55" display with this many features. Gotta love the "mega dynamic" 1,000,000 contrast ratio that only someone like Cyclops from the X-Men can appreciate. I'm curious about one thing, though: If 120 hz produces a "soap opera effect" in most displays, what would 240 Hz give you? Ultra-smooth, octopus-like fluidity? I can't imagine this looking remotely natural unless any additional processing can be deactivated while 10:10 pulldown takes place.
The biggest benefit to 240hz IMO is that it can do 48fps without any odd pull down, which means you can easily do 24fps movies shot in 3D, also I am told some animated films are in 48fps. Not that this supports 3D, but that would be a reason I would want a screen that could do 240hz.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

Any experts out there care to elaborate?
240hz > 120hz...
Stats game... that's all it is.
