I couldn't enjoy it at all! I don't know what happened, but this was the first time I ever came across the dreaded "soap opera effect". (I guess some shows are configured for it? I say that because I've been watching vintage shows for a long time on this set and have even caught The Dick Van Dyke Show before and never experienced it in prior airings.) People say that you can turn the effect off on your HDTV, but I don't think I have the option on mine, so I couldn't watch the marathon; the show looked too weird.
