Or, am I completely off base with this technology and the two values are not related in that way? Someone please chime in with a good explanation and or link.]]>Dec 30th 2008 8:46AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/
How the hell is a 24fps (aka. 24 Hz) movie going to look better because I'm going to see each frame 20 times in a row?]]>Dec 30th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/Dec 30th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/
Tech companies have long understood the need for pushing ridiculous numbers in the consumers' faces. A classic case is the 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, (why not 800,000:1? what difference does it make if i have a plasma that disables the pixel if it's black. It doesn't get any more contrasty than OFF does it?) Move along children, the bright shiny things are only here to distract you while the mean men steal all your money.]]>Dec 30th 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/Dec 30th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/29/lg-display-plans-to-melt-eyes-with-trumotion-480hz-lcd-tv/
- finer control in compensating for LCD speed. They already overdrive pixels to full on/off to push them faster to where they need to be, but it's brute force. If can modulate that change 2x-4x as many times per frame, you can more finely match the pixel driving signal to the actual pixel response to achieve the best quality pixel change time without over/under compensation; fewer artifacts, less blur. Additionally, larger (slower) luminance changes can be started earlier for those pixels that need it.

- video frames can be sent to the panel as soon as they're processed, reducing latency . This will also utilize the video processor more evenly over frames, allowing you to use a slower processor to achieve the same latency.

- accomodating 2x shuttering for 3D video. If you're watching film in 3D, this is 24x2 (L/R) = 48. This is not evenly divisible by 120, but 240 is. Actually... I guess this only justifies 240hz :).

- retinal persistence could be helped by interpolating to 480hz. Maybe.
