Hi All

First post here, hope i am not getting my self into some crazy topic.

I look around and found this section the good place to post.. here we go...


I would like to understand a little bit the importance of response time...

Let's draw some number to have a base..


0.5ms would be the reponse time of the plasma ( i extrapolate this number lease correct me if i am wrong)

4ms would be the reponse time of a LCD (in theory from black to white to black)

24 Pic/sec is the frame rate at witch televisionis broadcast or will with HDTV gadget (41.6ms/pic)

60Hz the basic frequence at witch we send info (16.6ms)

120Hz the new buzz word (8.3ms)


If i strip down this to one picture/one pixel of that picture...

1-The pixel should be display light for 41.6ms with a refresh rate of 16.6ms (60hz) Does this mean that the pixel will be recalculate 2.5 time during the 41.6ms?

2-If this thru each time the pixel is calculate do we have to apply the 4ms response time of the LCD...41.6ms/2.5=16.64ms > 16.64ms-4ms=12.64ms of full intensity

OR

3-The onboard electronic is smart enough to understand it will be the same picture for 41.6ms even if it is refresh 2.5 time. So at the end the 4ms will be calculate in the 41.6ms leaving the pixel full intensity for 37.6ms?


If this keep the road has an explanation

1- Could it explain the fact that plasma will give picture more clear (Less trail)
2- 120Hz will do nothing in the case of the explanation 2- unless we have and lcd with 1-2ms
3- What are the the limit of the human eye, up to what point we shouldn't see the difference.

Finally i would love to know if we could download somewhere the dvd pionneer use to show the difference betwen plasma and LCD to test my onw TV.

Thanks' for all of those who will read and comment.
