JVC Introduces New 120Hz TVs

I am not sure I buy much of the 120Hz hype. The goal behind JVC's new set is to reduce blurring, flickering through its second generation Clear Motion Drive technology. Also new to these models is HDMI 1.3 for match with your new High Def DVD player.

To reduce blurring of moving images, JVC's CMD II uses a frame doubling driver (120Hz) and motion interpolation. A JVC algorithm detects the movement in images and increases the frame rate to 120Hz to create an interpolated image that is displayed as two frames – the original plus the newly interpolated frame – in the same time it takes a conventional (60Hz) set to display a single frame. This delivers moving images without blurring or flickering. And compared to other frame doubling technologies, inserting an interpolated frame maintains image brightness.
