Author Topic: Throw away your pesky 120hz/240hz/480hz TV - Get the real stuff Julio Roberto Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 938 From: Madrid, Madrid, Spain Registered: Oct 2008 posted 05-22-2009 02:02 PM                    Throw away your pesky 120hz/240hz/480hz TV. Forget Pioneer's Kuro's (now discontinued) 96/100hz and DLP's 144hz. Get the real stuff. And screw DCI's 2000:1 sequential contrast. How about one billion to 1 (1,000,000,000:1)? http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/01/21/lg_pq60d/ quote: The LG PQ60D set has just been unveiled by the firm in Korea and it not only boasts an unbelievable 1,000,000,000:1 contrast ratio, but has a 600Hz frame refresh rate too. The 60PS70 has just come out in Korea with 600hz too. http://www.itechnews.net/2009/05/21/lg-x-canvas-50ps70-and-60ps70-plasma-hdtv-with-time-machine/ quote: LG Korea presents the new X-Canvas 50-inch 50PS70 and 60-inch 60PS70 plasma HDTVs. Each of them is equipped with a 160GB hard drive and includes the Time Machine DVR system. These plasma TVs offers 600Hz frame rate and Mega contrast ratio. They offer USB 2.0 Disclaimer: I know a lot of those numbers are more marketing than anything else. But comes to show the ever-improving home a/v market.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-22-2009 03:26 PM                     Ats nuttin new... Dolby owns a video monitor company that has had one that does about the same contrast ratio for a year or so now... Plus you can view it in extremely bright sunlight .

Are they selling a commercially available product or are they merely throwing a lot of money down the toilet for some sort of technological bragging rights?  |  IP: Logged
