Best LCD on market today – Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

I am reviewing this TV compared to the LnT5271F.

52a650 from 9 ft away
Blu-ray- 9.5/10
DVD- 9/10
Sports- 8.5/10
Tv shows- 9/10

5271 from 9 ft away.
Bluray movies- 9.5/10
DVD Movies- 9/10
Sports- 7/10
Tv shows and tv movies- 9/10

So, for the 5271, my viewing experience with blu-ray, DVD, and Tv from 9 ft. is 9/10 or better. There is small issue with flashlights and clouding, but not too noticeable. When I watch sports, my experience drops to 7/10 due to motion blur. Mainly this is NBA. Will it happen with other sports as well? Not as pronounced with the NFL, but it still is not as crisp as I like. MLB is fine, as well as Indy car racing. Tennis has a little blur on the ball. This is because it is tennis. With AMP on, there are serious issues with vapors and Triple Ball effect (where the football is thrown, the ball splits in three.) I need to sit 14 ft away to not see the blur, which is impossible at this house. Yet, at 14 feet, the pq still is amazing and blur is 99% non-existent. I decided to return the set due to this issue.
