IMHO, picture quality is good enough on even the basic models to not worry about it. There is no need for 100 hertz updating when human eyes refresh at barely 1/4 that rate.

One major aspect of functionality which isn't compared is, well, functionality. How long after you turn it on does it start showing pictures? How long does it take to change from one channel to another? Do you need to tune to every channel before you can use the menu function to see what is on? These are things which have disappointed me about my current set and which I could have checked in the store but didn't.

human eyes refresh? um, what? would you please explain what you mean by that?
