LCDs at 100 Hz

i just read this article. it looks promising Text

This looks like it helps the perceived motion blur quite a bit. It's not really 100hz though. I mean, it wouldn't be able to actually display 100fps off a game.

So if I'm understanding this correctly - They're actually interpolating between two images to create an intermediate image which fills the gap so that the crystals themselves don't have to make such large transitions. So indeed, it's not actually a true 100Hz, but it still looks like an improvement in some cases, although they thought it looked unnatural and "floaty" in movies (especially given the fact that they're running at 24fps)... OK for cartoons and video games though. Also interesting that the LCDs they tested claiming 75Hz refresh rates were not really 75Hz - some couldn't do it at all, others simply threw away the 5th frame.

I don't know about this. It uses motion prediction which isn't always perfect so things may look weird. I think BenQ/AUO's BFI will look a lot better. I'm just glad they let you adjust it: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/content/benq_fp241w_3.htm

i wonder how much more expensive it will be. i'm sure there will be a price premium. and, from what i read, it seems like only the larger sized monitors will get this technology first.. so i'm wondering how long it might be before it migrates to smaller sized panels

By the time these reach the market, the chances of SED technology emerging is a high possiblity.

How? Samsung already has the technology developed for MPA (motion picture acceleration?). Before SEDs come to computer monitors they need to get CNT (carbon nanotune) pixels working to get the dot pitch small enough...this is why they are arriving in TV sizes first which won't even happen until at least mid 2007.

You just killed my hope... 🙁

I wish for the time where we get the best of both worlds.

Yeah, from what I've heard, SED technology will only be used for applications with larger pixels, such as TVs. Even then, I think they'll have a hard time competing with LCD TVs, especially IPS-based LCD TVs.
