This is one the of the reasons I have not upgraded yet. It frustrating to watch a TV with this effect? Are there even models out there that can turn it off? My buddy recently bought a sammy 55" led and it was almost unwatchable without playing with the settings. There was not a setting that turned it off completely, but we did manage to lower the effect?
Are there any new flat panels that do not have the 'soap opera' effect?

That pretty much is a trait of LCD based displays with any adaptive motion compensation and yes most of them can be turned down/off... but then you get motion issues inherent with LCD's inability to refresh fast enough with fast moving video/objects (preferable IMO to the soap look you describe though).
Or you can get a plasma..or you could wait for and pay top dollar for OLED.Jason- Bottom

Funny, I haven't heard this referred to as the "soap opera" effect. I'm a big believer in the technology, but I think it's not fully developed yet. Thus, yes, it does make a lot of video look funny. It's already come a long way, though. When they finally get it figured out, I do think everybody will be using and loving it. (if they even realize they're using it)
For now, yes, it's turned off in my own TV's.CHRIS
Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

Any model out there that I should particularly looking at?
I was looking into the Panny TC-P65ST50. Seems like a pretty decent set for the money. I'm not really interested in 3D(at least at this time).

As you might know the ST series is entry level , then comes a much better set in the GT series , then top it off with the flagship VT series which is very very nice for the money and IMO much better then the Samsung anything models.- Bottom

It's a shame 2. I have a Pioneer Elite 60 inch Kuro and I have yet to see or calibrate a better set. I'm still sad that pioneer got out of the business . Lower price Tv's are nice but IMO you get what you pay for.- Bottom

Originally posted by maseline_98I'm actually wondering if the ST series might drop a little once the VT comes out. I think it's supposed to be release the end of next month/early june. We haven't moved yet(still waiting on closing), so I'm not in too much of a rush to get a new set just yet.
Remember , you don't buy a new TV each year so getting the best one you can afford is key here. Your going to have it for years so I strongly suggest going max on budget. Don't try to save money here. But getting last years GT or VT would be a really good idea over the new ST model if thats where your max budget falls.- Bottom
