Neither the 120Hz or HD has anything to do with the cartoon like images that you are seeing. Both are for making the picture look more realistic not like cartoons. Some reviewers do whine and cry about the 120Hz making the picture too smooth because it doesn't have the flicker effect that they're used to with movies. I don't get that, isn't real life smooth? The cartoon look is from the color and other adjustments being out of whack. That's the way most displays come from the manufacturers - colors over saturated, brightness turned up too high... It makes them look good to people in the stores. Your buddy needs to sit down and spend some time adjusting things like color, tint, contrast, brightness, tone, etc. and it will look as good as just about any other LCD. If he can't get it to look right he can hire an ISF technician to come out and adjust it properly (approximately $350).
