From: Chris on 25 Feb 2010 17:51 I am considering the purchase of an LED television. However, before I do, I would like to know what the difference is between 120 & 240hz; other than the numbers. I've done some research, but there seems to be a wide array of conflicting opinions. I know that it has to do with refresh rate, jitter, and blur. So, if anyone has some straightforward input on the matter, I'm all (grateful) ears. Thanks

Sylvia. [*] Ignoring the fact that colour displays are finely tuned to the way that human colour vision works, and an alien would likely wonder what we'd been smoking.
From: William Sommerwerck on 25 Feb 2010 18:46 First, the only televisions that use LEDs use OLEDs. There are none using conventional LEDs. Second, there are no strict definitions of what these refresh rates mean. In some cases, the set generates an interpolated image at that rate, in others, a blank (black) raster is inserted. Some sets combine both. I don't like this enhancement (which was one of the reasons I bought a plasma set). It has a nasty side-effect -- it makes motion pictures look like video. This might be fine for a TV show; it isn't when you're watching movies. Be sure that whatever set you purchase has some way of defeating it the enhancement. You need to actually look at the sets you're considering with program material you're familiar with.
