[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1163308, member: 141969"] Interesting question. I have just looked at the specs for my Sony, and it quotes 800Hz for its "motion flow" processing. :eek: Actually, I am inclined to think that these numbers are all about "specmanship", rather than real technical improvements that are worth having. :rolleyes: Does 240Hz produce a better picture than 120Hz, or a worse picture than 800Hz? Who knows! :confused: However, what I would expect is that the quoted numbers are [i]upper limits[/i], and that the TV will use a fixed multiple of the frame rate. From the numbers, the better Samsung can do up to 4x the frame rate for its motion processing, i.e. 240Hz for 60Hz frame rate, and 200Hz for 50Hz frame rate. I would think it more important to match the TV to the frame rate of the video signal, rather than use the frame rate that gives the maximum rate for motion processing. If the frame rate of the video signal is 50Hz, I would expect: 50Hz frame rate on the TV with 200Hz motion processing is better than 60Hz frame rate on the TV with 240Hz motion processing But what do I know? :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
