Sony and Their New 240Hz LCD TV

by GadgetManiac on September 4, 2008


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.
