“Any Soap Opera Effect Concerns? At this price point / quality of TV are there any worries or issues with the "Soap Opera Effect". Coming from a plasma which this isn't an issue, I am just concerned items will look "fake" like I've seen on some LED units.”

• None whatsoever. This was an issue with some of the 240hz led 1080p TV's from a few years ago which was the result of over interpolating the incoming frames from your source. Effectively, what was happening the TV's computer chip was creating 3 CGI frames for every original frame that was coming in, so you had more computer generated content than original content. Sony corrected this by scaling back down to a 120hz refresh rate and adding in new technologies like negative frame insertion, strobing backlights, etc.

• Soap Opera effect is best appreciated in sports. The movement is more fluid and fine in details yet not cinematic. Sony set this picture mode in "SPORTS." Now if you appreciate cinematic scenes just like me because it is a story telling ambiance, Sony XBR850c set this in a picture mode of Cinematic home, Cinematic pro and even the rest of the modes except sports. So no worries about Soap Opera Effect. I don't like that either.
