Interestingly enough, I found this article which talks about the exact phenomenon I was describing, where television looks “too real”: http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv/120hz-240hz-60hz.html

After the novelty wears off I might actually switch it back down to 60 Hz for when watching television.

I'm not even clear whether the TV is capable of accepting a 120Hz signal. I can hook my computer up to my TV over HDMI and have it connect at 60Hz (NTSC), but I don't know if a protocol even exists yet that supports 120Hz communication. Perhaps this is the distinction that the new "3D" TVs are providing, then? Dan.

Check out NVidia NVision Goggles. They basically do 3D by alternating shutters on the eye, so you need 120 Hz to get 60 Hz per eye. The neat thing about your 240 Hz is you can now have 2 people seeing 3D on the full screen at the same time! Or you can have 4 people seeing 2D on the full screen at the same time! Hey Dan,
