The amount of apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace
Microsoft's Windows Phone Marketplace has now reported to have passed 25,000 apps by one site tracking comings and goings within it. (source: WindowsPhoneAppslist, July 2011)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I'm guessing that althouh only 240hz is useful, the panel can run at 480hz. This could mean a few things:
- finer control in compensating for LCD speed. They already overdrive pixels to full on/off to push them faster to where they need to be, but it's brute force. If can modulate that change 2x-4x as many times per frame, you can more finely match the pixel driving signal to the actual pixel response to achieve the best quality pixel change time without over/under compensation; fewer artifacts, less blur. Additionally, larger (slower) luminance changes can be started earlier for those pixels that need it.
- video frames can be sent to the panel as soon as they're processed, reducing latency . This will also utilize the video processor more evenly over frames, allowing you to use a slower processor to achieve the same latency.
- accomodating 2x shuttering for 3D video. If you're watching film in 3D, this is 24x2 (L/R) = 48. This is not evenly divisible by 120, but 240 is. Actually... I guess this only justifies 240hz :).
- retinal persistence could be helped by interpolating to 480hz. Maybe.
