Oh, and the TV is awesome. Makes me wonder though, how will it look in comparison to current 60 and 120 Hz displays, and will it also appear as if the image is "tearing"?]]>Aug 28th 2008 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 28th 2008 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/

I'm sorry, its 3am. I'm slightly psychotic at 3am.]]>Aug 28th 2008 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/
I've only purchased a PSP in Japan, along with the 1SEG TV tuner and some games. It was still more expensive than picking it up here in the U.S, but I needed one at the time. Actually, I've brought more electronic items with me from the U.S. to Japan that I left to use when I visit each time. (Oh wait, I also bought an AM/FM radio there because the FM frequency starts lower than in the U.S.)

I do agree that less taxes are a good thing and I'm not happy at all with paying taxes for items from another state, just because I used the Internet.]]>Aug 28th 2008 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/
the point of 120Hz was so that 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps could be all be displayed natively...

can the eye perceive a difference between 120Hz vs. 240Hz? maybe... if a part of the screen went from dark to light to dark within 1/240th of a second. but then again, our fastest source is 60fps, which would render 120 and 240 identical, no?]]>Aug 28th 2008 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 28th 2008 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/
The first time I saw Sony's motion-video stuff was when I was walking through CC a number of months ago and the latest Pirates of the Caribbean (ugh) had just come out on video. I literally stopped dead in my tracks because, out of the corner of my eye, from about 30ft away it looked like video. I thought to myself "wtf? are they coming out with a low grade TV show for it now?".

Not having seen the movie before I went over to the TV screen and stood looking at it for a number of minutes - the production values were great, it was obviously really Johnny Depp (sp), the score/props/effects were all there, so I was sure it had to be the real movie - but it looked like it was shot on someone's home video camera. I asked the rep if that was a "feature" of the player or the TV and he said it was the Sony unit and proceeded to go through the menus and turn it off. Suddenly it looked like film again. I was just flat out shocked.

I've been in a quandary since - I like the "film look" better. I'm repulsed by the smooth video look. But I'm wondering if kids today only see stuff like that if they prefer the "liquid motion" type tech and think film looks ugly. Is it the way of the future that everything's going to look like video?

I just couldn't believe how bad - subjectively, to me - it made a brand new, high values production look. In the future I'm going to need a feature that makes stuff look like film, I guess.]]>Aug 28th 2008 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/
Whatever I'm watching sucks me in so much more when the motion is fluid and lifelike, I want to feel like I'm there watching the action not a series of photographs of it in quick succession.

If only everything was shot in 1080p 60fps or more! I've watched a few things in this format and it was so smooth, detailed, clear and realistic!

Have a read up on 100fps.com to see why interlacing and low frame rates are both horrible! ]]>Aug 28th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 28th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 28th 2008 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 28th 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/
What will be the new "must buy" feature at that point? 120hz is pointless if my camcorder can't even do >30 Hz.

You think Madden will ever reach 120 Hz? I thought PS3 was now on a 15 year product life cycle, Cell can't do 1080P at 120 Hz, at least, that what I reckon future articles will say...]]>Aug 28th 2008 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 28th 2008 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Aug 30th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sony-delivers-the-first-240hz-lcds-november-10/Sep 5th 2008 9:25AM
