LG unveils 240 Hz LH55 LCD line for 2009

Despite the fact that there is some debate about whether the human eye can really notice the difference between 120 Hz and 240 Hz in terms of picture smoothness, LG's heavily marketing 240 Hz as the selling point of its new LH55 LCD line. Well there's a little more to the story. The company says that the scanning backlight used in its sets is better than the MEMC system used by Sony and Samsung because it requires less hardware, less steps and less energy.

Whatever the case may be, the sets look sweet. Consisting of the 37-inch 37LH55, the 42-inch 42LH55, the 47-inch 47LH55 and the 55-inch 55LH55, the LH55 line is set to ship in March.
