I agree.

I'll wait till at least next year though to buy a television. By then probably every set will be locally lit rather than edge lit, and everyone will have figured out the 3D stuff.]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/You're probably right. The pace of progress is impressive.

LOL, if you think $3500 for a 72" 3D-capable 480hz backlit-LED set with local dimming is "as expensive as the top tier manufacturers" then you are certifiably crazy.]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/
No problem, here's an in-stock REFURBED Sony 70" on the Sony website. Feel free to spend $17999 and get 2 fewer inches on the diagonal.

Ever since Vizio came to life the boutique players have either gotten out, refocused their products to the larger cheaper households, or simply channeled products where you are not seeing them.

Bur the notion of spending >$2K on a display, even a plasma I'd love, is simply insane. If I'm going to spend that much I'd be focusing on the critical viewing environment first. What good is a fantastic display if the room renders it to the worse current display offering?]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/
Still way to little info about these to even start getting excited yet.]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/
Does it even matter? The difference between "true" 480hz and feigned 480hz (that utilized some kind of backlight scanning) would most likely be undetectable to the human eye.]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/Your source video obviously doesn't have 240 frames of video per second, here it's either 24, 30, or 60fps, all of which divide cleanly into 120Hz. The higher LCD refresh rates are only meant to further reduce ghosting, and whether you do that by completely refreshing the screen at 240Hz or using the backlight trick it'll do the job.
The only real downside is that since you're turning the backlight off half the time the brightness drops, although a properly calibrated set would likely still use less than the brightness a flickering backlight can output. And obviously they can just use brighter backlight units to get around this, or have it fire at a slightly higher intensity when it's on so that the drop in brightness isn't as bad.
But practically speaking they both achieve the goal of lowering ghosting. And I honestly think this 480Hz stuff is total overkill that they basically insisted on doing just so the nonsensical plasma marketing (where they use subfield drive numbers) doesn't win the marketing war lol.]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/vizios-2010-lcd-lineup-is-led-from-top-to-bottom/
