Now that LCD TVs with 120Hz refresh rates are becoming commonplace, manufacturers including Toshiba are implementing 240Hz to bolster claims of smoother images with improved blur reduction.Toshiba’s ZV650 series includes three screen sizes, the 42-inch 46ZV650, the 46-inch 46ZV650, and the 55-inch 55ZV650, and will be available in April (prices were not announced).In describing its 240Hz models, the company called it a “240Hz effect” to be extra-careful. Compared to 120Hz models, the company claims that 240Hz delivers smoother images with less blurring–although if our review of the Sony KDL-52XBR7 is any indication, the difference will be difficult to discern.Like LG and Vizio, Toshiba uses the scanning backlight version of 240Hz, which turns the backlight on and off very rapidly. Sony and Samsung use a different version, which interpolates three extra frames for every true frame.
