MCFI: Smoother, Cleaner, More Refreshing TV Viewing

Filed in archive Television on November 22, 2006

I reading an interesting >article at CNET today:

A new technology refreshes TV images at 120 to 100 hertz, or 120 to 100 times a second, versus the 60 hertz rate of typical LCDs (liquid crystal displays). This effectively doubles the number of images per second, which leads to a smoother visual presentation to human eyes. Known as motion-compensated frame interpolation, or MCFI, the technology is just starting to appear in high-end TVs.

Very cool technology. Smoother visual presentation for a TV sounds like a great idea to me so I can watch all the football games in perfect picture quality.

Maybe if I win the lottery we can get a new TV??? Or maybe some nice reader will send me one for Christmas :) Not that I watch much TV, but still. I wouldn't mind a new TV.
