Anyone know if the conviction of the LG execs that were price-fixing will affect LG prices?

This happened recently, so you might want to wait a bit.

I bought a 32LG60 to use as my new computer monitor and have been LOVING it as a TV! Along with video settings for movies/sports/games it also has corresponding sound settings. Another cool feature is voice enhancement which increases dialog volume while maintaining a lower volume on background noise. On innovative thing about this TV that I like is that you can plug in a flash drive loaded with MP3s and JPGs and play them from the TV. You can even listen to the music as you watch a slide show! The only knock so far is that I haven't been able to confirm if it's actually 120Hz. There is nothing in the documentation about it and I've seen some rumblings that the 60 and 70 series are actually still 60HZ. FYI, the 60 Scarlets were actually released AFTER the 70 series so even though they say XXLG60 they are actually newer!
