Since the movie was *shot* at 24fps and telecined at 24 or 30fps, screening it at 120hz, 200hz or 50,000hz is not going to increase the frame rate, only the refresh rate. You do realize that when you go to the movies, the shutter on the projector is at 72hz, right? If anything, increasing the refresh rate on the screen will get you *closer* to the original "film blur" you love, not further from it.<br><br>If you're still experiencing difficulty enjoying fast refresh rates, please visit an optometrist. (Or maybe a psychiatrist? I dunno...)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dreamscape86]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2008 2:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[@dreamscape86<br>Thank you but I am quite familiar with refresh vs frame rate. I am not talking about simply repeating frames to increase the refresh rate. I am talking about the video processing these TVs do to interpolate and remove blur by creating 120 individual frames where there were none in the source. The TV itself is increasing the frame rate to match the refresh. Please stop by your nearest Best Buy to witness what it looks like. They always have some blu-ray movie being processed in this way. It resembles high speed shutter video footage (think sporting event) and looks terrible.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BluesK1d]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2008 2:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Eyes can see tops about 80 frames per second (by corner of an eye).<br><br>Though as with sound, only by going at least twice above human limit all the disturbing little glitched introduced by electronic image/sound reproduction are not detected by perception.<br><br>It would be interesting whether I would be able to the difference.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ihar `Philips` Filipau]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 8:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was able to the difference.<br><br>Is this dangerous?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Basic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 10:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dreamscape86]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2008 2:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Isn't this video totaly useles as my computer screen doesn't have motionflow I can not see the effect :o Nice specs though :P]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ronald]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 8:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, it's also useless because the cam Thomas is filming with only records with 24/25/30 pictures/s.

The phosphor usually used in monitors (medium persistence) will leave you with lovely seizure inducing flicker at lower rates.  Now, compare that to the sorts of phosphors used in some old dumb terminals / MDA displays, and you don't have a flicker problem, since they used long persistence almost-radar-like phosphor that doesn't stop glowing between refreshes at 50/60 Hz (or even 25/30 Hz).  Of course, then you have problems with motion which would easily cause a terminal made with those phosphors to end up a big screen of green mush just from scrolling text.  Yay...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shepd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 12:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gotta be some irony that the demo pic on the screen is from a collection of stills.

Instead of displaying a new video frame from your game console, the television stores it in memory, and interpolates a frame part-way between it and the previous frame. A video frame is not displayed until the NEXT video frame is received from the game console. It looks like this:<br><br>- Receive & Store frame t=2.0, Display frame t=1.0<br>- Interpolate and Display frame t=1.3333<br>- Interpolate and Display frame t=1.6666<br>- Receive & Store frame t=3.0, Display frame t=2.0<br>- Interpolate and Display frame t=2.3333<br>- Interpolate and Display frame t=2.6666<br>- Receive & Store frame t=4.0, Display frame t=3.0<br>and so on. See how the frame that is displayed lags behind the frame sent by the game console!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Evan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 11:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah of course.

To see a real difference you'd have to capture it at a significantly higher frame rate than 50 Hz (which is what was used to record this), upload it at said rate, and everyone viewing it would have to have monitors capable of high refresh rates, and their video cards set to do so.  The difference is probably huge in real life, but on video, not so much.<br><br>But the thing about these artificial high rate refresh modes is they all have to muck up the picture some to produce the in between frames.  Some techniques may be "better" than others, but they all suffer from one significant problem, and that is whenever there is a cut or other large change in the video signal, there isn't enough information for at least a few frames of video to produce the in-between frames, so what you get is stutter stutter stutter, smooth motion for a few seconds, scene change, stutter stutter stutter, smooth motion.  There's only 50 or 60 frames of video per second; so-called "intelligent" algorithms have to be used to create the in-between stuff, and those algorithms really aren't very good.  I personally find it VERY distracting and it gives me a headache.  <br><br>The best use for the high frame rate panels is their ability to produce 24p video without judder, so watching films on Blu-ray/HD-DVD/a properly equipped DVD player look much more film-like, especially whenever a camera moves in some way... a pan, tilt, dolly, truck, etc.  Unfortunately not all of them do that.  It would be great if manufacturers started advertising 24p capability instead of this high frame rate nonsense, because the 24p is actually useful, the artificial motion is not.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doug]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 1:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seriously. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2008 10:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Or you could do a side by side with one that doesn't have it.

LCDs and Plasmas have a 1/30 second delay built into them just because they have to receive a full frame of video from the game console / DVD player / satellite receiver, etc. before they can display anything in order to remove the interlace from the signal.  The only TVs that display video "in real time" are CRTs.  They delay with these modes is just double what you would normally get with a 50/60Hz panel.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doug]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 1:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[this motionflow stuff isnt really good for anything other than sports right... all the stuff ive seen at the stores playing in 120 look really really crappy.. like a soap opera...also most video/games doesnt support that many frames does it?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KiraXD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 1:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/video-sonys-200hz-motionflow-bravia-z4500-tricks-kids-into-sit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Try cranking you computer's refresh rate to the max.
