Back to the original issue...

I have two 120hz TV's: A Sony A3000 SXRD and a Toshiba Regza. I have the 120hz option set to a minimal setting. Neither TV shows any weird artifact as the OP mentions, and in fact BR films look amazing, but as I mentioned in my earlier post, I setup a new Samsung 240hz TV a few days ago and even at the lowest setting for 240hz, any film-originated product looked so strange I could not watch the TV. I wonder if it's a Samsung thing? Probably not since I have read other posts that mention this artifact on other brands of TV's.
