Your roommate's first mistake was buying an LCD. He should take it back and trade it for a plasma or RPTV. LCDs all have problems with motion. The top of the line 120Hz models are a little better, but still lose resolution during program motion sequences. On 60Hz models (less expensive), resolution can drop as much as 60% during motion. There are also other problems with LCD panels in general, when comparing their image quality to other common technologies.

I don't recommend LCDs to my customers unless picture quality is a low priority, and they have a very specific reason for needing one- like seriously compromised viewing environment conditions. Do not be swayed by the increasing popularity of LCD flat panels. Picture quality is not the reason for their growing market share.
