Pardon my ignorance brader, care to explain this? Di ko talaga naintihay yung motion na yun
Hi brader Tirso.
Sharp AquoMotion 480 is 120Hz native panel refresh rate plus 4x strobing. Aquomotion 960 is 240Hz native panel refresh rate plus 4x backlight strobing/scanning. Turning the backlight off and on very quickly reduces the blur that our brains perceive. The screen itself isn't providing any new information until it switches to the next frame (it just flashes the same frame 4 times). In short, Aquomotion 480 is really 120Hz. Those 120 frames per second that it displays can have motion interpolation (intermediate frames inserted by the video processor) or not (the processor will just duplicate the source frames to fill the 120 slots in every second) depending on your setting.
Plasma screen "Hz" ratings are even farther from image refresh rates. Recent plasmas almost always max out at 100Hz in terms of image refresh rate (others max out at 50Hz, 60Hz or 72Hz). Plasma screens advertise sub-field drive frequency, which is why they can often advertise 400Hz, 480Hz, 500Hz, 550Hz, 576Hz or 600Hz. Each Plasma frame is typically displayed using 6, 8 or 10 sub-fields. Most common Panasonic and Samsung plasmas for example normally run at 60Hz using 10 sub-fields per frame (600 Hz sub-field drive).
