I guess they got tired of their BS "contrast ratio" lies, so now they're touting worthless frame rates.

Thanks to the FCC, almost everything we watch is still interlaced, compressed-to-hell garbage that completely wastes the capability of today's (or even yesterday's) displays.

GOOD QUALITY = DEAD]]>Sep 2nd 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/Sep 2nd 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/Sep 2nd 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/
Last year they came out with 120 Hz LCDs to combat this problem; they do some image processing to figure out what to display in the alternate frames (since the source material probably isn't 120 fps).

I guess now there's some "one-up-man-ship" in increasing this refresh rate to 4x (200 fps in PAL, 240 fps in NTSC).

The difference between 60 and 120 is noticeable in sports programs. I'd have to see if the difference between 120 and 240 is noticeable at all....]]>Sep 2nd 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/
But I think it looks fake and not like the original was intended to be seen. I'd much rather get a TV that supported 24 Hz and 25 Hz instead of this one.

And it's not about blur because that is caused by the pixel response time, and response times have fallen to 2 ms or lower which is good for 500 Hz or more.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/Sep 2nd 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/Sep 2nd 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/
Capturing 24 frames out of a moving scene and displaying it is actually less realistic than guessing and displaying highly probable in between frames. Ideally we'd be able to capture and show 200 frames per second but we cant. But for many situations the "in between frames guess" would be indistinguishable from if the action was captured at 200 fps. Showing the guessed frames actually provides a more "true to real" experience than not showing it. You can think of the placing of in between frames as a form of compression.

Actually our own brain does this guessing too .. if it didn't .. we wouldn't be able to experience movies or see watch LED scrollers.

Another issue is that all of TV is never an exact duplication. Real life is not 1080 pixels and certainly doesn't happen at 24fps. ]]>Sep 2nd 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/Sep 2nd 2008 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/Sep 2nd 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/

I think your confusion stems from the fact that these 200Hz TVs were introduced at IFA, which if you weren't aware, is held annually in Germany. Website below.

http://www1.messe-berlin.de/vip8_1/website/MesseBerlin/htdocs/www.ifa-berlin.de/fset_home_e.html

So 240Hz for Japan (and the US, although neither company has announced these TVs for the US or other NTSC markets yet), and 200Hz for our European cousins. And just to clear things up further, regular NTSC = 60Hz, regular PAL = 50Hz.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-samsung-both-claim-worlds-first-200hz-lcd-tv/
