B/c when I was shopping for TV's and looked at multiple SONY RPLCD sets in various stores, NONE of the stores had anywhere near satisfactory setup as far as source. In most stores, with fast sports scenes, I did see the "pixellation" and breakups.

This is not because of the known slower refresh rate of LCD. It's crappy source problem. Often the multi-spliced DVD/standard def cable feed or the crappy analogue antenna up on the roof of stores.

Ever since I actually brought the Sony RPLCD home, I have NEVER, even ONCE, witnessed a single pixellation or breakup with fast moving sports scenes. I do have good source feeds like Channel Master rooftop HD antenna, DISH 811 HD receiver (but even the crappy DISH SD feed never pixellate with fast scens), and 1080i upsampling DVD player.
