I don't know why this TV does not mention 120Hz

Hi,

Most likely the refresh rate of the screen..

I would venture to say that most out there are
fast enough, where it's not even worth mentioning.

Most likely just a scheme to make you think it has
something important over others.

120 Hz is the screen refresh rate. The normal refresh rate is 60
Hz. !20 Hz gives you less bluring in scenes with fast movement, such
as sporting events. If the Brochure does not mention 120Hz refresh
rate, then the product not have it. The bluring of fast action is not
a problem with plasma sets.

Oh, so that is the 120 Hz snake oil. Having a faster vertical rate
than the speed of the incoming signal cannot help with fast motion,
other than to make it seem jerkier by painting the same image twice
every time.

No, they don't paint the same image twice. Remember, MPEG encoding
includes a lot of information about motion in the scene, and the
120-Hz televisions use that to interpolate the motion in the time
domain. It really does help reduce the visibility of motion artifacts.

The only problem i see with that claim is that it will take far more
processing power than is available in the newest gamer extreme type
PC. Adding about UD$ 4000 to the sales price, and they do not cost
that much these days.
