All this "Hoo Haa" about motion flow, clear motion rate and sub field drive.

Guys I notice there are lots of detailed threads about this issue. The bottom line is that if you are not into gaming on your TV and are only interested in watching movies none of all this really matters. All movies are shot at 24 frames per second ! Any normal TV refreshing at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on your geographical location will deliver you the goods if it does the 3:2 pull down accurately. All these specs are marketing BS. A refresh rate of 800 Hz needs a panel with a response time of 1.25 millisecond - ever heard of a panel with that response time ? Even TN panels don't have that response time and they are never used in TVs.

The problem is that some brands just do a bad job of processing motion on 50 Hz / 60 Hz refresh rates. The average human eye can not distinguish more than 14 frames a second, the above average human eye can go up to 16 frames a second.

Don't waste money on these marketing gimmicks.

In lcd atleast having a fast response time beyond a certain point doesn't make any subjective difference .So even if you have a 1 milli second response time you will see the native drawbacks,hence manufactures came up with Backlight scanning(if implemented well you don't see SOE) and frame interpolation to improve the motion resolution or to reduce judder .

The marketing numbers may be irrelevant beyond a certain number but they do make a difference.

Yeah I agree, A higher refresh rate is not going to reduce the motion blur unless the panel has a better response time. The refresh rate is getting abused by manufacturers, To better understand their marketing gimmicks have deep look at this link What is the Refresh Rate?

 

[Yahaha]

I think this is for noobs, not even for noobs as all the good "sales person" educate their customers about response time and refresh rate.

Nobody really falls into the refresh rate BS.
