It's prone to distortions and mistakes which can be distracting.ĪFAIK FullHD means Telly can display all HD resolutions as opposed to HD ready which means it will only go to 720p and/or 1080i (not 1080p) FTW. So a 24 fps movie, rather than simply repeating each frame 5 times, will have four synthesized frames between each film frame when displayed at 120 Hz.

Going to 100/120 Hz eliminates the flicker.ġ00/120 Hz TVs can also synthesize in-between frames by analyzing motion within frames and creating intermediate images. At 50/60 Hz the flicker would be noticeable. This eliminates motion blur caused by the cells slowly changing from one brightness to another - you simply don't see them while they are changing state. The next thing 100 and 120 Hz HDTVs can do is turn off the backlights while the LCD cells are changing state. This isn't an issue for PAL viewers because 25 fps frame can simply be repeated twice each to make 50 Hz. Using a TV that can update the display 120 times a second allows the TV to repeat each frame repeated 5 times. So, on top of the inherent jerkiness of 24 fps film you have a 2-3 frame repeat judder. 60 Hz NTSC TVs show 24 fps material by repeating frames, alternating between 2 and 3 repeats per film frame. The 100Hz (120Hz in NTSC-land) thing I havent figured out yet, but smells like a marketing ploy. You'd have to do some more research on your own to see if you want to spend extra for that quality aspect. Frankly I don't understand that part of the high def nomenclature. There are 120hz hdtvs out there that are supposed to be better than a run of the mill tv. Just remember 1920x1080p is the max for hdtv resolution right now.

I think TRUEHD is just a variation of "full hd". That means that you have to buy an external tuner to watch hd content (be it over-the-air digital, cable, satellite, or fios). It has nothing do to with the resolution. HD Ready simply means that the tv does not have a built in tuner. That was not in price range at the time so I settled on 1366x768 and it has been more than serviceable.
#HD VS FULL HD COFESHOW 1080P#
At the time I bought my set last year 1080p sets started at 1000 USD at any size. It looks very good but I knew going in it wasn't "full hd". That is the best you can get resolution wise.ġ366x768 is common on older sets. 1920/1080p is the max of current hdtv resolutions.
