Sigh, I knew I should not have volunteered to coach my son's baseball team - sounds like a great event! Are you taking reservations for the 9th annual yet? ;)
Robert,

I would love to be able to attend next year's event - any idea approximately when it would be so I can start planning vacation time? ;)

Hi Robert

Still not right. It is good to separate groups LCD TVs
- with VA matrices
- with IPS matrices

Then type subgroups used backlight
- Direct local dimming /Elite PRO, Toshiba ZL2, Philips 60PFL9607/
- Horizontal (or vertical) local dimming /LG xxLM6xx (or 7xx), Panasonic TX-LxxWT50 to ET5/
- Edge led
- Direct led

- with Scanning backlight (number of sectors)

LG LM670
LG Cinema 3D LM670S scanning backlight - YouTube

3 bloks scanning backlight LM6700

You will understand what type of Motion interpolation used in a model.

Sharp puts Direct LED panels with Local Dimming, only in Elite PRO-70X5FD and ELITE PRO-60X5FD for American and Japanese market, but not for European .....
Sharp LC-70LE835E / Direct LED without Local Dimming (European model)
http://www.fullhd.gr/hdtvs/lcd-tvs/13501-sharp-lc-70le835e.html
The model had the same panel as in Elite PRO70FX, but without Local Dimming

Philips 60PFL9607 had the same panel as in Elite PRO60FX


Well your selected plasma TVs - all flagship models set contrast and anti-reflection filter.

Greetings from Bulgaria

Hristoslav
I think you are missing the point of the shootout - as a consumer, I want to see a comparison of all sets side by side to make as educated a choice as I can based on the thing that matters most to me - how the picture looks to me. As just your ordinary run of the mill consumer, this is what I feel the shootout provides and I appreciate the amount of time and effort Robert spends to set all this up.

If I wanted to break comparisons down to specific types, I would spend more time researching beyond what Robert provides.
