    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.

    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.

    You all are such noobs. 120Hz has absolutely nothing to do with the weird smooth soap opera effect. That would be the trumotion, cinemotion or whatever the manufacturer calls it. Learn about the technology before you speak or write articles....

    Dear John,

    You do know that you can turn that down a notch? Most 120hz TVs allow you to set the amount of enhancement. Typically, demos like to set everything on HIGH. It is your job to play around with it and reduce picture settings DOWN so that it's normal. That's the first thing I do whenever I get to play with a TV.

    @Noobs-R-Us: Actually, they brought this up as a concern before I did, and said they're looking for a solution for future sets. I mean, I hope there's an option to notch this down, but for now I don't think there is.

    i was playing with my roommates TV, which is a 120Hz set, and noticed a funny difference between his and mine. it did have a camcorder feel, but it didn't click in my head it was due to the interp. oh, and btw -- geek squad did his tv calibration (don't ask me why he paid for that)and it looks like utter crap. that is why i was messin' with it.

    @Nick: DeusExMach needs a star: Actually if the installer was ISF certified which most are and they used the right tools, the LCD screen would look darker but more true aka more like a plasma. You're probably just used to the bright lcd screens and their vivid and dynamic modes, which while more eye grabbing, they actually suck.

    @Jay Beezy: actually, i don't know if they were certified and i could use the "right" tools as well on any project. BUT the proof is in the puddin' and this guy did a crap job. the biggest error was the fact the brightness was turned up higher than a cosmetics counter at macy's

    Too thin for even HDMI connectors, let alone RCA jacks, toslink jacks, power cables, etc., which are probably handled by a standalone unit or something. I'd rather it be a full inch thick and have standard connectors. Really, the picture frames in my room are thicker, anything under 2 inches from the wall is "thin enough" that other features in the tradeoff matter more.


    For comparison, the top section of my white macbook is 8-9mm.


    The innovation I want is to be able to upload an ICC profile to the unit so it can display accurate colors.

    It's weird when I look at my 10mm thick ring, and think that this tv is thinner than it.

    All this talk of thin-ness brought to mind the good old times, when the slim discman was king [and when Sony was top dog]. I think it was Sony that started the trend of super-miniaturization, with its top-notch engineering and a regular stream of superlative products in the 80s and 90s. The D-J50 comes to mind - remember those?


    Here are some noteworthy products from their archives -

    @Soyerzzz: It's about advancing technology in all aspects. The thinner you can make LCD screens, the larger the applications. (Although OLED is going to PWN LED's, so it's pretty much all for phail anyway.)

    @Kakkoister: Indeed. At the very least, they are developing technology that will lead to better and cheaper products in the future. That is the point of the highest-end anything. Very few people will buy them, but they will trickle down once they get cheaper.
