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.

Which is what you want, blur...120hz and over is just horrid. keep it at 60 where it belongs.

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.
