Sony introduced a 240Hz LCD TV to the world during CEDIA 2008 that was held this week in Colorado. The KDL-52XBR7 is the world’s first and the only 240Hz LCD TV. Other features include a pixel format of 1920 x 1080 that can accept 1080p video without scaling. If the video is less than 1080p the BRAVIA Engine 2 will take care of that and make sure it perfectly fits the 1920 x 1080 pixel format of the KDL-52XBR7.
240Hz. Wow. That’s 2x faster than 120Hz. 4x faster than 60Hz. What does the KDL-52XBR7 do with all of that speed? In a 120Hz LCD TV motion interpolation is used to insert a newly created frame in between two frames. With 240Hz you get three new frames. And that means that you get “exceptional motion detail in movies, sports, and video games.” I can believe that. Maybe semiconductor technology can improve much like CPUs and we can expect a 360Hz or 480Hz frequency LCD TV in the future?
