60 hz versus 120 hz versus 240 hz lcd televisions.

divides evenly with 24 or something😛
but interpolation..yea that sucks, everything is so smooth its like bad cg..

120hz is nice, but unnecessary. The smoothness is the result of having motion interpolation, NOT having a higher refresh rate. The TVs have integrated v-chips that create frames where frames didn't exist. Had this chip need integrated into a 60hz television, you would notice little if any difference between the smoothness of video between them.

That said, you do not need to buy a 120hz television for that level of video smoothness. See PowerDVD 9, Crystal Player and WinDVD. PC software that motion interpolates your playback videos. Connect your PC to your HDTV and play 24 fps videos on a 60/72hz monitor or television and you'll experience smoothness like never before, which in some cases can surpass that of poorly developed 120hz motion interpolating v-chips.

no not entirely

it seems it allow for faster pixel relaxation time or something. so really its a way to improve on the pixel lagginess of lcds.

Well to be honest, I don't see how a divisible of 24 would really affect the smoothness of the picture. If I downgrade my LCDs refresh rate to 24hz, the picture doesn't really appear any smoother. With 120 or 240hz, you're not displaying any more or any less than 24 images in 1 second. Instead you're displaying the same image 5 times or the same image 10 times. The lack of a 3:2 pulldown from 60hz is great, but downgrading to 24hz should solve the problem, but doesn't. At least not for me. Motion Interpolation is what causes the smoothness, not the even division. It surprises me that motion interpolation is almost always associated with 120hz when the same technology when applied to a 60hz television is smooth as well. It begs the question of if marketers are using 120hz as a shroud of technological progress when in actuality a simple, inexpensive and long-time existing algorithm called motion interpolation is actually shelving most of the work.
