Philips Working on LCD TV Ghosting

Posted by Hemos on from the ghost-in-the-machine dept.

agentfive writes "Philips is working on a new lamp technology to eliminate ghosting. Ghosting is a problem in LCD TVs when tiny pixels creating the image take time to switch on and off and can't do it fast enough. The problem, widely recognized as the main drawback of LCD TVs, is apparent in fast moving objects such as tennis balls, but even slower moving images get fuzzy. Philips will do something similiar to a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) by switching the fluorescent backlight on and off at a rapid pace."

    I'm not photosensitive (i.e. gets sick in the presence of flickering lights such as fluorescents and low refresh rate CRTs).

    Photosensitive? So you have a reaction in response to light. Any light.

    Or did you really mean that you have a type of epilepsy called Lafora's disease...?

    Sheesh, one would hope that people can be competent at least when describing their own problems that they have to deal with every day...
