    Things that marketers use to sell tech to dummies like myself:

    1) Extremely high spec numbers
    b) Extremely low spec numbers
    4) Shiny
    V) Acronyms. Lots and lots of Acronyms.

    That is all.

    No thanks. I'll take 60 Hz. Maybe some day I'll get a 120 Hz, but I really see no need to unless I get a set of 3D shutter glasses that require it.

    @fuchikoma: already there, we lost something when they stopped producing the Pioneer Kuro Elite plasma HDTV's those were a work technological art.

    is this the exact opposite of using interpolation?

    So, what's the point, then? To save power? That would be pretty cool.

    @gadam07: It seems like what they are saying is that each frame on your TV leaves a residual image in your brain. By inserting black frames, they hope to blank out that residual frames and make each new frame clearer.

    Err... I guess that makes... sense. At least it's a plausible concept to sell to people who buy high-end TVs.

    The article makes good points about trade shows in general.


    I still wish Apple would continue Macworld since it's not just another trade show. Discarding their yearly love-in is like giving into their inner Sony.

    I have to echo admoseremic on this one, compare apples to apples. While there are some good points here on trends that may effect trade shows in general, we're talking about Apple-centric shows here. For most others it's a gathering of a somewhat diversified set of goods. Apple is the primary source for all things Apple, so if they decide to stop "going on tour" to shops motivated by enthusiasts, doesn't it stand to reason that the purpose of those particular shows are quickly deflated?

    Contrast that to Chevy pulling out of an automotive trade show. That's a different market, and only Chevy would miss out while the show itself would hardly suffer.
