The ultimate will be OLEDs, a 50" would be fine, but we are talking a couple more years, and who knows how much they will cost. Your right, the Vizio 480hz aren't true 480hz, they are using some back-light trickery, strobing, to simulate 480hz. But it could help with the LCD 3d ghosting problems. Ghosting happens because the LCD panels pixels are slow to change, as well as the shutter glasses speed, and their opaqueness when 'shuttered'. Well, what if the back-light is off when the ghosting is happening, and only turns on after the LCD and shutters have settled? You won't see the ghosting. It's still happening, but the back-light is off when it's ghosting. Also, since they are LED back-lit they can flicker completely on and off several times per frame, which tricks the brain into thinking it's smoother. But i'll have to wait for the reviews next month. It's got to be a good 2d tv also, or I won't buy. |
The 480 hz Vizio may be good solution for ghosting when going from light to dark or other contrast related aspects.I'll have to check it out when it becomes available.
Otherwise I dont think it pays off for Laser TVs to be made under 60 inches. Its kinda like the same reason plasmas aren't made under 42 inches. It really doesn't cost them much more to make a 65 inch laser than it does to make a 55 inch one. And they can charge 1000 more for a 65 inch model so...
