I was going to take your guys advice, return my 60hz and the the 120hz model but the box my TV came in is ruined, girlfriend thew it out by accident. I don't know if they'll take it back with out the box? I'm so angry. I don't want to be stuck with this TV b/c of the box.

So your recommending I return the 60hz, pay the extra $50-60 and get the 120hz? Also, on the AVS forum they are talking about different models of the same TV I have, D models, Y models, etc. And something about the TV being IPS. What is this all about and should I be worried about the one I...

So can I get a good HDMI cable under $15? Anything on Amazon you can point me to? I picked up a AudioQuest/Pearl HDMI cable from Best Buy for $30 but I'd like to return it for something cheaper.

Could you just give me a cable from Amazon and Monoprice to purchase? I usually just throw everything on my Amazon card. Just give me one to purchase and Ill go ahead and do it.

Why would I need an HDMI extender? Thing looks confusing, headache just looking at it lol. And thanks everyone for the responses, I'm returning that HDMI cable tomorrow and going on Amazon :)
