Actually I think it is useful to compare. Based on what I've seen, the interpolation tech is actually pretty good as long as there isn't too much movement on screen. And yet, in dramas especially, it still severely cheapens the look and makes everything look "unnatural". (Even when there is only smooth movement which is well interpolated by whatever algorithm it is using.) So what I am saying is, I actually think it is simply the higher fps that accounts for the distracting nature of these tvs (when interpolation is on). Not so much the actual interpolation itself, as I can only rarely detect artifacts.
