I have two choice for our(wife and I) first HDTV, the Samsung 2796 and 2797.

2796:

Both are identicle except for the 2797 has 3:2 pulldown and BBE sound.
Here's a good reference for 3:2 pulldown.(which for some reason is not very clear for me)

The 2796 is $137 less at Bestbuy then the 2997 is at Sears.(B.Buy does not stock the 2797).
I'll probably add 5.1 speakers next spring so the sound is not crucial, i'm only worried about the 3:2 pulldown.
1) In games only, from what i read 3:2 pulldown only relates to DVD movie transfer from film, so in console systems like my XBox/PS2..and soon GameCube, is it indeed true 3:2 has no effect on the visual quality of these games?
2) Now about the 3:2 pulldown in effect to movies, we do rent a few a month and were thinking a new DVD player will be a gift this Christmas.(from a family member)
But..most likely, this DVD player has no progressive output.
Does 3:2 pulldown effect non-progressive DVD players more then progressive?
Can you tell (picture quality) the effect of 3:2 pulldown makes in DVD movies?
(btw: Other then DVD/VHS? movies, i'm gathering 3:2 pulldown had nothing to do with movies on digital cable, is this true?
Thanks so much for any help here.
