Samsung 480Hz HDTV Prototype Arriving in September

Tweet

Samsung intends to reveal a prototype of the 400/480 Hz HDTV at the IFA 2009 consumer electronics fair in Berlin which will be held next month. The display will better Samsung’s existing 200/240 Hz B8000 LED TVs (LCD TV with LED backlight) and their specs. Obviously that means that the higher the refresh rate, lesser blurriness on what gets output.

More to it, Samsung is going to pack the new HDTV with advanced interpolation methods (which are regular for high-end models) that will also contribute to getting crystal clear images.

The new Samsung 480Hz HDTV (or Samsung 400Hz in Europe) prototype will use Black/Dark Frame Insertion which succeeds in creating an extremely brief dark flash between the original picture frames that helps in resetting the human eye. Called the BFI/DFI method, it uses the principle that the human eye does not forget light instantly and that will help improve the perception of response time on an LCD-TV.

Definitely something your eyes will enjoy, but we can’t help wonder if such a high end HDTV will only be intended to the mega rich or not …
