    Iv'e watched as a Tv tech, reading the schematic measured voltages. When they were low he added capacitance in parallel. If the voltage was good he replaced that cap. he did this for about 8 caps. Tv lasted for two years before problem was back. The trick is getting the schematic.

    60 hz versus 120 hz

    Only time I've seen blur on my sharp 60hz is when I have close up fast motion from a BluRay movie. Haven't noticed it watching football at all. When I purchased 60hz was all there was. I personally would go with the 120hz now, but that's me. When you finally get it plugged in enjoy.

    Take the cable box back for replacement(exchange) sounds like the box is having trouble up converting 720p to 1080I. Does it happen on all the channels? Say for instance a known HD program such as the NFL compared to one that may not be broadcast HD.
