600 Hz Subfield motion displays
Edward Ryklin
Has anyone else looked into it?
Samsung model PN43D490

It isn't actually a refresh rate of 600Hz but, as far as I can make out,
they've got a technology of pulsing the plasma pixels 10 times per frame.

If we had control over those pulses it might be useful. But I imagine we
don't. Still, might give the CRS team something to think about. Maybe
the technology, used another way, could be used to generate extra bits
out of a plasma display...? Temporal dithering at 600Hz could be neat.

just refreshing the current value 10 times faster to reduce decay.
That's too bad for us. What about these new 240Hz LED displays...?

think it's a 120Hz LCD panel with an LED backlight that flashes twice
per frame.
Also watch out for monitors designed primarily as a TV - even though
they will accept computer input, they might not even allow for 120hz
genuine refresh, because for a TV that isn't useful. You're likely to
have more luck with something describing itself as a monitor than a TV.
