HDTV/3D TV News
The Victor Company (JVC) revealed a demonstration model of an HDTV with a 180Hz refresh rate, at CEATEC, the consumer electronics and IT trade show in Japan.
According to JVC, the 32-inch panel is the first LCD panel to feature this refresh rate.
The company achieved the improved rate via custom algorithms which interpolate a typical HDTV feed of 60Hz and then insert two frames of its own.
The higher refresh rate is designed to significantly reduce the blur in fast movement, and is an improvement the current premium 120Hz refresh rate.
The set has a 1024×768 pixel count, compared with the more usual 720p 1280×720 pixel count for 32in displays.
JVC’s 180Hz set is still at the prototype stage, but the company expects it to eventually go into production.
sure 180hz “reduces” motion blur, but not sure i see the point of this. NTSC is 30hz, blu-ray is 24hz, video games are up to 60hz. 120hz solved all our pulldown problems, JVC wants to reintroduce stuttering pulldown alorythims for the sake of an extra (and useless) 60hz?
