Because you're not setting the TV's correctly. Out of the box, the 120Hz mode is a disaster, and looks exactly like you are describing it. Set correctly (probably on low mode, but that depends on the TV), and it will smooth out motion as intended. Yes, there will be occasional artifacting/tearing, but nowhere nearly as bad as what you get with out-of-the-box settings.

That said, for $4,200, get a damn Pioneer Elite.
