AU Optotronics will be showing off Taiwan's first 65-inch
1080p 120Hz LCD, scheduled for release in the third quarter of this year, at Display Taiwan 2007 next week. Sharp has already displayed this
technology and size in its Aquos line, but now that AUO has the capability of building 60-inch+ panels on its 6G production line, we can expect even
more competition in the market for these massive HDTVs. Besides the 120Hz technology to reduce blurring, AUO's baby brings 4ms response time, 2000:1 contrast ratio and 10-bit color processing with 92% of the NTSC color gamut, in 42-, 46- and 65-inch sizes.

Maybe it's just the picture or my monitor, but is that set really pushing the reds? The whole picture looks like it needs to be recalibrated (except for the model of course, she's picture perfect).

I thought 24hz (or a multiple of 24) was the holy grail for 1080p because that is the speed of film and therefore motion "judder" is reduced.

Yes, that's correct. And 120hz is a multiple of 24fps, meaning that each of the image's frames [24] is repeated 5 times, for a smoother stable image. 60hz (the current norm) is only a multiple of 30fps, which is the output of video-based signals [TV shows, concerts], but not film-based signals (24), like movies [on DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray].
That's why the majority of HDTV's have incorporated the 2:3 (or 3:2) pullown processing, to smooth out the image, and present it in progressive form, like the "p" in 720p or 1080p.
With a multiple of 24fps, you dont' necessarily need a progressive signal, as the interlaced signal will not need added processing in providing a consistently smooth and almost noise-free signal, with the added 120hz as a major improvement, if done properly [Pioneer's Plasmas have had this feature for a few years now].
