Why Don’t We Have High Frame Rate for Cinema and TV?

Ultra-High Definition (UHD) TV has more than just more pixels. I see it as a four-legged stool, with more pixels as one leg, wide color gamut (WCG) as a second, high dynamic range (HDR) as the third and high frame rate (HFR) as the fourth.

Eizo was showing the EV2750 monitor (Eizo Slims Bezels for Multi-Monitor Set-Ups), which features very thin bezels and is controlled via a remote, rather than physical side buttons. “Nobody likes mints” was Woodley’s justification for offering people M&Ms instead – with Eizo’s name and a picture of a monitor on the back! We approve, especially … Read more

LG Boasts of Narrow Bezels

LG helped to save the show report from a round of writing ‘Nothing new’ in my notebook! The company had multiple new displays that are on the market now, or will be soon – as well as prototypes that we can’t talk about, in the new headquarters across the road from Mercedes-Benz World.
