They commonly advertise (or at least
DID) them as 600Hz TV's - deliberately conning the public in to thinking they are 600Hz refresh rate.
Perhaps they have been censored by the ASA now?, but from the MANY posts on here (who are a 'super-set' of the general public) it's still commonly believed it refers to refresh rate.

As I understand it LCD are in the same boat as plasma, none of their sets can give a true 200/400hz refresh rate, they use mathematical techniques to interpolate between frames, basically adding frames similar to plasma's sub field drive.

I've not heard of any 400Hz sets, but 100Hz and 200Hz sets create extra new frames between the transmitted ones - giving 50 or 100 individual frames per second.
The '600Hz' plasma sets only give 50 individual frames per second as they are only 100Hz.

I was referring to the technique that LCD use to improve motion blur. It does nothing to increase the refresh rate, only frame rate, it gives a better transition between frames. which is what the 600hz sub field drive does on plasma.”
Does it? - as far as I can make out from the deliberately confusing explanations at Panasonic it doesn't seem to do much at all?, and certainly doesn't produce extra full frames as 200Hz does.
