Samsung and other manufacturers are working to reduce one of the chronic irritations with LCD TVs: blurry images.

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.

One interesting part of the article deals with the difference in how human eyes percieve screens "drawn" on LCDs vs. CRTs (vertical blanking is a good thing...). Thanks Iria!
