Thinking about a 1080p TV? You won't get 1080p all the time

I've been eyeing TVs lately and the big thing these days are signs saying supports 1080p. Now, I've always read that it's just marketing hype and you really don't get any benefit until you get into the really large sizes. Well this article on Home Theater talks about how one person tested a bunch of TVs and found that while some produce a static 1080p image, motion drops the resolution down a good chunk. The big winners are LGs while the Vizio's finished last, which is not too surprising. I'm looking at 120Hz TVs myself so I'd like to know how the resolution fares on those since they don't have to do the 3:2 pull down.
