I was going to Bestbuy to pick up the Sony - BRAVIA / 40" Class / 1080p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV Model: KDL-40S5100 | SKU: 9222496 for $718.99 when it just so happens that they are having their Black Friday prices already and it's a lot lower than advertised. For only $599.99. I quietly picked one up.

I'm just curious. Does the refresh rate between 60Hz and 120Hz really make a difference? I don't watch sports much, just lots of regular tv and movies. Thanks for any insight. Good deal though, green for you.

I have the 2008 version of this TV and to my eyes sports looks just fine to me. It's a really good TV for the $$$ and this deal is $120 less than I paid a year ago.

Yes it helps overall picture quality + there are higher contrast rates

I do not know anything about TVs, except how to watch them. If our TV is on with a good HD source when people visit we get comments about how it almost looks 3d. I don't know if 120hz is doing that or not, maybe somebody more knowledgeable can answer that question.
You can also pricematch at Sears to get better price. I was just wander around Sears Escondido a little bit earlier tonight and there was a guy (possibly a FWer ) tried to pricematch with this TV deal. There was no problem at all.

Just one note of caution with this model... I jumped on a deal back in july for about 650 from Dell and the TV is great if you get a non-defective one. Check out the avsforum threadSony now offers a premium exchange service where they send you a refurb and you ship them back yours. I am waiting to get my refurb now.
The two issues that are most common - sound intermittently breaks up over HDMI (this happens at least once a day for me). And color shifting - when I watch shows that have a darker background the reds will shift color... hard to describe but it is annoying.
This happens on the 40, 42 and 46 models as well as on the S and V version.
I wonder if some of these issues have to do with the service?, I have the 40" and my neighbor also has the same . we bought them together and he has Comcrap for his service ,I have AT&T Uverse. when we compare identicle channels, AT&T has a better picture and sound.
This TV is beautiful. I got it a few weeks ago at Wal-Mart for $400 - they were selling new units in damaged boxes super cheap. I hooked it up to my roof antenna and I get around 35 channels, most in HD. I also hooked it up to a tiny OptiPlex for Internet viewing.
Yup, i went to Best Buy yesterday and found this out (check the Best buy Black Friday thread and the Black Friday TV thread on Fatwallet). The 46-inch Sony Tv is also on sale for $797....
Sweet deal OP. Out of the 42" so I got the last 46". Beautiful!
I had a rain check from the WalMart 42" Sharp lcd on 11.7, but they don't know when they will get their rush shipment in. So glad that WalMart was slow to ship the Sharp Thanks!
