Lil off topic (don't hurt me!)
Finding a good LCD ain't easy, especially since companies often put unnecessary statistics and leave out important ones..
For example, Horizontal and Vertical Scan Frequencies mean just about nothing on an LCD, whereas Pixel Response Time means the WORLD.. Response time determines the "blur" you see when things move across LCDs quickly. Logically, one might think a response time of, say, 40 ms (or .0040 seconds) would yield 25 frames per second (1 second / .0040 seconds = 25 fps)...
However, as Mani mentioned earlier, current LCDs are just not cutting it. The reason is, Response Time generally measures the time to go from completely black to completely white and back to black again. This would SEEM to be a "worst case scenario" -- after all, it's going through the greatest amount of change possible. However, this is not the case.
Therein lies the hopes for new LCDs. Companies like Mitsubishi have been working on various technologies (ie, Mitsubishi's 'Feed Forward' technology) to improve the "mid-range" speed of pixel change. As it stands, the slowest pixel change occurs going from some shade of gray to a certain other shade of gray. This happens because the pixel "accelerates" to the new shade more slowly than a pixel does in going from black to white, where the pixel can go full speed ahead until it reaches "the end", and becomes completely black. Mitsubishi and others are trying to accelerate the pixel shade change by making the pixel change accelerate quickly and slow down JUST BEFORE it reaches the new shade.
Blah..I've been going on too long...... Suffice to say, the new technology looks promising
