LCD Refresh rate

[aramis109]

Really not tense about it, though honestly I do hate it when people talk about turning down 120hz. Pet peeve I guess.

I'm actually west of Milwaukee in a little town, but I work in Milwaukee. Is it maybe Racine? That's pretty large (and a bit south of here, depending on your outlook).

You had me all . I was like... "surely not DK!"

No, you're right this time.

It's just the feed and the compression more than anything else. Unfortunately cable companies over-compress most signals.

so the whole "120hz thing for sports" is pretty much a marketing ploy?

I have 60hz and have never seen one bit of pixelation even in super fast action during live events aside from the compression you mentioned. I have looked very hard to find since buying the set because that was a big concern for me as the guy selling the tv kept pushing it

Well, yes and no. You're trying to reduce motion blur with a faster refresh- images stay on the screen for less time and thus there's less ghosting/blurring. Look for that instead of pixellation/compression. Compression is the macroblocking described above. 120hz is meant for ghosting and for proper resolution of 24p sources, like BD's.

you may not even notice it until you see a 120hz set in action.
