I use it "on" when watching blue ray and still cant get over the picture quality. I use standard on hd programs from cable and off when gaming. You can tell the difference between off and on when watching blue ray so it depends on if you like it or not. To me it looks more cinematic if you leave it off but it would just be personal preference.

Sony XBR9 - Motionflow - On or Off?
I've got a Sony XBR2 and a Sony V2500 neither of which has a 240mhz frame rate and am about to purchase a Sony XBR9 which does.
My XBR2 learnings on AVS told me that 90% of Sony's 'features' should be turned off to get a great picture. Is this also true of the XBR9 and Motionflow? Or is Motionflow being 'on' the only way to get the 240mhz frame rate I'm paying for?
TIA

The TV always displays 240Hz. Motionflow is simply Sony's marketing term for de-judder processing. IMO, movies look terrible with it on since it destroys the cinematic look. I also never use it for games simply to eliminate all possible sources of input delay.
It really comes down to personal preference. Luckily, you can turn it on and off to your taste.

while personal preference prevails, prevailing wisdom seems to be your xbr2 learnings carry over. you can go to www.cnet.com hdtv reviews and you will see that he always turns this stuff off, as most purists seem to.
however, you may find it beneficial for such things as tv sports. 240Hz video processing is said to be a bit better than 120Hz processing with test equipment, the difference hardly noticeable when normal viewing, as opposed to 60Hz vs. 120 Hz, which was more of a real improvement.
while the refresh rate is inherent to the set's design and there is no turning it off (as you can with the motion enhancement processing), there is no apparent benefit without the processing. so as you learned with the xbr2 you pay to turn it off; but then the overall set is superior vs. the oldies but goodies.

Thank you all. I've searched every combination of "XBR9 calibration" and cannot find any thread with recommended settings.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
