I swear that the motion quality and the deep blacks rival high end OLEDs. Really, really good. So long as you can find a decent TV (like the one in the video).
The issue I have with them is - power draw and heat.

I have one in my room. It gets pretty hot with it and my PS3 running, and I live in Minnesota and sleep in the basement

What I hear you saying is you have great tastes in consoles, a kick ass TV and a free space heater.
