The annoyance with fast moving objects being distorted is the only reason I have not a purchased a "new" television.
I have browsed new technology tv's (LCD's/PLASMA/DLP) for at least the last 3 years and they all suffer from a slow response. No brand is better or worse. No technology is better or worse. No price is better or worse. From the 400$ wallyworld sets to the gargantuan multi -thousand dollar sets.
That being said, even a $397 wallyworld set produces a great picture when given a good signal, and one is not watching a fast moving object.
I haven't yet gone to a set top box for digital. I do use the General Instruments cable box from mediacom cable on an old Curtis Mathes daily watcher console. The rest of the tv's are fed direct from cable. Within the last month I have noticed the very problems you describe coming direct from the cable. It is really annoying. I expect it not to get any better, whenever the plug is pulled on all the analog xmitters.
