And fun thing - I was watching "T-formers" on this sick Samsung 40" and I fell for it. There is this thing on it called "Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology" and I am hooked. I will definitely hold off buying an LCD or plasma until I can get one with that Auto Motion junk. It made the movie look like I was looking into a window and put me right into the action. Does anyone have any info on that technology? |
Depending on the manufacturer, the 120mhz can be several things. Some are just inserting a black frame in between each 60 fps frame to create cleaner motion without as much blur (and of course better black levels). There are a couple of sets out there that actually claim to take two frames say 1 and 2 of a 60 fps display and add a "1.5" that is "averged" between the two and creates a frame that did not exist before. In doing so they create very fluid movements with no blur at all. I don't know much more about the technology other than they are trying to create a super fluid animation without any blur whatsoever.
That said, I've seen Batman on an LG that has "fine motion" or something like that. It's not a 120mhz set but does have anti-blur technology. It had that "being there" look that to me looks like a soap opera rather than a movie. i started another thread about this and frankly, I don't like it at all. It doesn't look like a movie any more.
