120hz? Forgetting something, CNET? Again?

I think it's EXTREMELY important to point out these these sets have indeed jumped up a few notches in response time by introducing 120hz to their sets-- compare that to 60hz which is what every other TV is doing. Working at Leigh Adams Discount Sales, I have personally had time to play with this set and let me tell you: Flawless. No, it does not have the depth of a Plasma. And no, no one is broadcasting in any resolution at 120hz. But this improved the response time so much, I (of all people, me, the pickiest videophile in the store) could not see ANY Ghosting.
Good job Sharp.
As for the gaming series, yes, there is a reason to pay that premium. Good job again CNET for constantly over looking the details. The Vyper Drive (Horribly named as it is) reduces what's called "Input Lag" and this reduces the time from when I move my mouse (Or D-pad in Console cases) to the time I see it on the screen. This means that this TV has a beefy processor and I can finally tolerate playing First Person Shooters on an LCD.
Hurrah!
P.S. Cnet, please tell the WHOLE story next time, would ya? Makes it really hard for me to use your previews/reviews when I sell a TV when there's stuff like that left out.

One more thing

Forgot to mention, that so far Sharp has NOT specified whether or not these "Gaming LCD's" have the 120hz response time or not. But they better! That would totally ruin the point of killing off the input lag if I still have motion blurring/ghosting/tearing/whatever the new terms are.
Also, Sharp is using what they call "Multi-Pixel Technology" in the D92U sets, in which they claim they've split the pixel down the middle and shooting to the left, and the right simultaneously, improving viewing angle dramatically.
Oh, and it works. Come down to my store for proof.

Banding Sharp LCD Tv's

In the past Sharp has had a problem with banding.I am considering a Sharp LCD Has Sharp Corrected this problem ??

My experience with Sharp LCDs is after 2.5 years mine died. Dead, won't turn on. I won't waste any money on a Sharp again.
