Our year and a half old LG 42 lcd blew up and Costco did give us a full refund...
so we put in an extra 250 bucks and got the least expensive 60 hrz led. To my way of thinking I am not a gamer and I do not see any difference in the broadcast 1080i at 60 hertz with an extra frame thrown in to get a 120 output. Plus the power consumption of the 60 hertz tv is less than the 120. So it should be less susceptible to over heat problems which is what killed the LG.
I really like the fact that it runs at a lot lower wattage than a back lit lcd.
Turns out that the LG ran at over 240 watts and did not have adequate venting. So it should have had a fan. Even though I was careful to make sure the convection path of the air vents was not obstructed. It actually would heat our living room after we re-insulated and re-did our windows!
