After extensive testing I am unsatisfied with this tv, and it's "high" end price tag. The resolution is a joke at best, it's blacks look inferior to my Sharps. The 72hz is definitely no 120hz I can attest to that. The buzzing is atrocious, and makes me want to cry when I watch my soap operas.  People's faces look like grated cheese due to the screen door effect, and the contrast is so high, you see things you are not supposed to.
