The original Ben Heck Xbox 360 keyboard post introduced me to a great hardware hacker website. Keep up the good work

@ Dark star:
Response time refers to the LCD pixel's ability to change states (colors) quickly. The faster the response, the less likely to be perceptible to the human eye... I think something like 8-10 ms or more is definitely noticable to most. An improvement from 5ms to 4? Not as much, but maybe. Refresh is how many times per second (Hz) you are receiving an entirely new picture. 4 ms == 250 Hz, 8 ms == 125 Hz, so it sort of correlates, but if one is slow, it can slow down fantastic performance on the other. Need both to work well independently.

@ everyone else
120 Hz I can understand, at a fps data rate into the TV, you are interpolating, or "guessing" at one frame between two received frames. I haven't seen it for myself, but I can understand how it could make for crisper movement. 240 on the other hand, as was stated above, is definitely overkill since a) the eye can't detect much benefit from 3x the interpolated frames anyway, and 2) you are guessing at THREE frames for every frame you actually receive, so it's easy to see how this could cause problems.

This should be fairly accurate, but anyone can feel free to correct me on things I may have missed. I'd expect even minor things will get me blasted in the typical Engadget commenter fashion...

... and Macs are STILL harder to upgrade! bahahahahaha

Have we all forgotten what the word "instant" means?

It took you that long to figure out what a warrior yells to give everyone 1000 hp?? Within 5 seconds I knew that it was "If we beat this guy I'll buy everyone left standing a Bud light!"

bring on the Horde laptop!
