How? Whether you know it or not, HD LCD TVs and Plasma TVs are already improving the source material coming across the air waves, cable, or satellite dishes. The television’s processor uses complicated algorithms to basically add frames between the frames of the original source material. The effect is a reduction of minor distortions (which become major on a big enough screen), and blurring effects often most noticeable when an image is moving quickly.

Before the spreading popularity of HD technology, only the most obsessed video aficionados worried about things like frame rates and blur on household TVs. But, as product cycles tend to do, this one is moving forward like a freight train, bad economy be-damned. More eyes watching bigger screens than ever are starting to care about these issues, wanting the most from their investment. Blurs and smudges matter now. In spite of the 50hz efforts to solve the problem, some blurring persists in spite of this, and that’s why 100hz lcd tv and plasma tv, and even 200hz plasma and LCD televisions have been developed, hopefully satisfying the most picky customers.

200hz and 100hz plasma and LCD televisions actually extrapolate new frames between the images in the source material. It sounds like magic, and it effectively is to those who don’t understand the process. Sporting events like tennis or golf where the ball is small and moves quickly show this effect off particularly well, standing head and shoulders above 50hz televisions.

This goes beyond sports, making every image sharper before it gets to the screen. This means more resolution, more details, more eye-popping action. All those hundreds of thousands of pixels get pushed further than ever in making all the action clean and sharp.

200hz plasma and LCD televisions as well as plasma and LCD 100Hz Tv may have pushed those pixels as far as they’ll go, now delivering many times more extrapolated frames than the old 50hz TVs. When Sony first introduced these last August at IFA, some laughed it off as industry one-upmanship. According to many attendees, however, doubling the hz made a noticeable difference. Keep in mind that attendees saw sample videos selected by the manufacturers to show off the effect, and many only saw the images from very close up.

Watch before you buy; it’s a rule of thumb in buying high-definition equipment that will probably never go out of style. Go beyond the sample videos that show off the power the best, using video you’d watch yourself and see if there’s any noticeable difference for you.
