Hey danny, I agree with trying to sell the same product to the same people. I mean, look at how many different versions of The Exorcist were ultimately released. I wonder how many people bought that thing over and over again for an addional minute or two of new footage each time. Now they are using the same formula more or less in a different area. coastie65

Here's a good little article which describes it:

I don't know what console you're using, but most consoles put out 60 fps. PCs these days are frequently hooked up to a television for gaming and often have to use v-sync to prevent screen tearing if the frame rate exceeds the refresh rate (60 Hz NTSC or 50 Hz PAL). A video game running at 24fps would be nearly unplayable.

And here's a forum discussion regarding screen tearing on the Xbox 360:

"don't know what console you're using, but most consoles put out 60 fps." Actually, it came from that very article you told us to read. That said, if there is such a thing as "screen tearing" and believe me, I've been in the game for over 20 years and have never heard of it, it would most probably be because of two factors.

Either you're trying to pump too many frames (which are mearly repeats of the same frame) into a monitor with a low response rate, or the algorithims are off. Meaning, the actual frame count of 24 to 30 of the source material, is being distorted by repeating it 200 times; which is more likely the problem.

If you're running a heavy metal gaming rig, you need the same in a gaming monitor. You'd never confuse my 3ms Viewsonic gaming monitors.

In TV, everything's an algorithim, since motion picture source is 28 frames, two have to be doubled to reach thirty. Different TV's do this in different ways. Until 28p sets hit the market, it'll stay that way.

As an aside, TV's are not meant to be gaming monitors (except for consoles) and never will. Even the 120mhz models never mention that. They're making false claims about action in movies. Have you ever seen studdering at the theatre? Thought not, it runs at a pathetic 28fps. I rest my case... By the way, and I don't mean this as a slight, how old are you? Like 19? The article were supposed to be talking about is how 240mgz is supposed to mean smoother action, IN MOVIES!
