    Shame it isn’t 120Hz! I miss absolute transparency when selling electronic products, specifically HDTVs, all that buzzword is there to confuse more than to clear things out.
    1) real vs. dynamic contrast
    2) color enhancer technologies
    3) speed of refresh: 60Hz, 120Hz or 240Hz
    4) response times 6ms, 5ms
    … and many, many others, very confusing…

    5ms response time? rubbish! i have this TV but the EU version (LE40b530) and this is the slowest LCD tv ive ever seen, dark images stay on the screen longer than lighter parts of the image giving the image some very strange effects, even changes from one shot of movie to another shot (for example 2 people taking in the movie, camera flicking from one face to the other) can leave a very slight imprint of one face on the other for a split second. it improves as the set “warms up” but never completely goes, personally I would avoid samsung and go for a panasonic.. dark images ghosting/smearing kills this Tv for me sadly
