Agreed. It seemed unrelated, even out of left field. I suspect Sylvia didn't
properly express what she wanted to say.

Actually, it's a frame rate. It can be done by interpolation, by inserting
blank frames, or a combination of the two.

or perhaps it's just a flash rate, the pulses powering the LED backlight

Why would you jump to that conclusion?

Oh, forgot; that's what you do.

I guess we should refer to all LCD sets by their backlight type. That makes
the one on my wall a CCFL TV. And I guess all of those DLP, LCD, DiLA,
SXRD, and LCoS projection sets should be called mercury vapor or whatever
type of lamp they use. And the new projectors could be called LED
projectors as well, even if they are DLP devices.

The point is that referring to the set by the type of backlight it uses is
very misleading and is causing much confusion in the marketplace.
