Would anyone know what the equivalent refresh rate is for good old CRT technology ? As far as fast movement across the image is concerned, motion jitter or judder or whatever the term is. What refresh rate would have to be there before I cannot tell the difference between that part of the technologies?

The manufacturers are relentlessly plugging this as though it's some new and wonderful display technology, and it's not (although I have to say that the TV ad campaign that was running here seems to have stopped now). It is misleading nonsense, and although all civilised countries have laws against misleading advertising, for some reason, they seem to be letting this one go, presumably because like you, they don't have any understanding of what is actually *meant* by the term, rather than *implied* by it. By the way the OP was talking, he doesn't understand either, and is in the process of *being* misled by it and, since he asked, it is up to those of us who *do* understand, to help him out with his question, and stop him potentially wasting his hard-earned on something that is not exactly what he thought it was. Now if you have anything sensible and informative to say on the issue, go right ahead Philip. Otherwise, if it's just more of your normal anger and abuse that's festering ready for you to unleash, go have a beer or whatever instead, and chill ...

Wonder what name they'll invent for proper LED TVs when they arrive? And why aren't all LCD sets known by the name of the backlight? -- *Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill.

Yup :-) Don't know in the US, but over here when folks speak of an LED television, it's now accepted it's an LCD with a LED backlight. Besides I've read that Sony have dropped their plans to go to large scale manufacture with OLED for the moment. -- Adrian C |
