I agree you should be treated equally as well if your dresssed in shorts or a tux...
Yeah, you want 120 Hz processor if possible ... although to be honest, I'm pretty sure mine has a 60 Hz processor and I have never had a hint of motion blur, and I watch TONS of sports in HD.

It's funny, as far as being "judged" on attire, I often find that I get less of that when I go in a "snob" store, and much more of it when I go into a store with mixed patronage. For example, the shopping center most convenient to where my parents live (where I grew up) is uber-wealthy. Most of the stores I couldn't begin to shop at, but I go to the grocery, drug store and post office there when I'm in the area ... no one cares if I'm wearing oil-stained duds and a worn-out Broncos sweatshirt. Maybe they just assume that everyone in the town is rich as creases, so I must just be one of those eccentric rich people (eccentric yes, rich ... not quite). The super-rich seem much less interesting in image, I find, than the middle-upper-class folks who want everyone to think they're super-rich. I guess we're all a little guilty of occasionally trying to show other people how important we are ... I do it with my writing sometimes and usually pay the price by alienating readers. Oh well. Human behavior is amusing and confusing.

Good luck with your TV.
