Sony just introduced an LCD TV that generates an astonishing frame rate of 240Hz – by comparison most TVs operate at a lowly 60Hz. This quadrupling of frame rate is thx to Sony’s MotionFlow software which interpolates 3 new frames from each old one and so creates very smooth motion.
The model is called the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR7 LCD TV and should be available in Dec 08.
While 240Hz should help those who perceive judder, suffer from photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epilepsy, or watch fast-action sports, most viewers might not notice the difference.
Other features for the 52XBR7 include: 1080p 52-inch screen, 9.9mm thick and a contrast ratio of 80,000:1.

The 240Hz LCD TV was a big deal, and I don’t think it got quite the attention it deserved.
Yeah, the motion on this TV was impressive..really impressive.
