CRT TVs usually topped at ?)Hz interlaced, and even the 100 or 120Hz ones didin't have motion interpolation.
120 and 240Hz with motion interpolation is yet another image-destroying gimmick to try to sell a new TV to Joe Six-Pack who doesn't know better. Too bad Joe Six-Pack isn't able to tell the difference between SD and HD, and doestn't care one bit.]]>May 14th 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-first-on-the-block-with-240hz-lcd-prototype-100-better/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-first-on-the-block-with-240hz-lcd-prototype-100-better/I just got my $40 x 2 government rebates for digital to analog converter boxes and picked up 2 and paid some tax for them. They give a clear picture on my analog tv (looks like dvd to me). When looking at the hdtvs in the store, they all look ok (the ones that aren't blurry), just like dvd pictures to me. More cycles per second do not impress me. My pc is set at greater than HD resolution - lets go for 2048p on the tv, then i'll be impressed ... I won't care, but I will be impressed :)]]>May 28th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-first-on-the-block-with-240hz-lcd-prototype-100-better/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-first-on-the-block-with-240hz-lcd-prototype-100-better/May 15th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-first-on-the-block-with-240hz-lcd-prototype-100-better/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-first-on-the-block-with-240hz-lcd-prototype-100-better/while 60 is considered the 'right number', it is NOT from how fast we can see, but how fast the brain process what it does see, vs the latency time that the image is 'stuck' in the chemistry of the eye; humans do not really see 'non-stop' . . especially when the eye is moving, but it takes lots of snapshots that the brain fuses into a apparently continuous flow of input.

The 60hz/120hz issue for electronic displays is the net result of the fact that film was recored at 24 and tv at 30 - so, as you cannot change the source, you must 'adjust' SOMETHING during playback. That adjustment is to repeat some source frames ( as was discussed above) and the eye detects this as stutter during fast action scenes (especially when the camera is panning)
