Sony, Samsung both claim "world's first" 200Hz LCD TV

We already caught sight of Sony's Bravia Z4500 LCD TV with 200Hz "MotionFlow" before and after it was officially unveiled at IFA, but it wasn't the only such set on the scene, with Samsung also touting a "world's first" 200Hz LCD TV of its own. Apparently, the distinction is that Samsung supposedly had the world's first prototype, while Sony will actually be the first to market with one. All this is also slightly further complicated by the fact that Sony and Samsung have each also already introduced 240Hz LCD TVs in Japan, although we're chalking those up to the usual 50 / 60Hz, NTSC / PAL differences. One thing that is clear, however, is that both sets sure are impressive, and you can get a taste of each by checking out Engadget en Español's round-up at the link below.

whats stopping a lcd having a variable refresh rate, ala crt? would solve a hell of a lot of these problems, then you can have a 96/100/120hz set and everyones happy

Somehow I don't think a big flashy sign with the words "Tied with [insert rival company name here] for the first 200Hz LCD in the world!!" would go over too well with the company's respective marketing execs.Can we just call them both douchebags for calling "FIRST!!!" and move on?
