The other ones you posted were last year's models. It looks like this F6400 series has all the features as last year's ES6500 series.
This is what I ended up with.

The price point was a tad bit more than I wanted to go with but most of the people I spoke with said it was a much better TV.

The differences was the 6400 has built in WIFI, Micro Dimming and a couple other minor upgrades.

Initial feedback is . The picture quality is a lot better than the other TV's I looked at. It blows away the DLP it replaced. And the DLP had a very nice picture. I need to work on adjusting some of the anti-blur and anti-judder features to get the best balance.

The brightness is amazing. I can make out a lot of stuff in dark backgrounds that was never really clear with the DLP. I'm really excited to see what Blu-Rays look like on it.

Thanks. I'll try that to see what it is like but I'm thrilled with the quality. What would turning it off do? I'm a TV

240 Hz gives you the Soap Opera effect, not 120 Hz. If you drop below 120, you will suffer from motion blur during fast moving scenes.

I set my anti-blur to 120hz for sports, off for everything else.

I have the Anti-Blur set to a low setting. I cannot select 120 or 60.

Samsung is your best choice for great price. 3D I've used it once, ok twice, to watch porn, and that's all she wrote.

I have Sony Bravia XBRs all over my house, my girl said we can get new ones once they break. I've been waiting for them to die for the past 5 years. And they won't.
