The easy way to explain it is to say that these televisions are not actually in fact 480Hz. What they are referring to is an artificial increase in the refresh rate to help provide smoother video. This is accomplished by tricking the eyes to see quick glimpses of images.

After all of the announcements, one this has become resoundingly clear: 2010 will be full of new, and not so new technologies being added into televisions. Below is a list of what things will be changing from 2009 to 2010 models of HDTVs.

The two companies have come out to reiterate that they will be working together on some exciting backlight technologies. The goal is to share the costs to innovate and research in this department with the goal being televisions which are brighter, use less energy, and are able to be thinner.
It may be until mid-2011 before any benefits are seen from this partnership but using CCFL backlighting is a thing of the past with newer LCD television using as many LED backlights as possible. This kind of development means that the price point on these televisions should get closer to $1,000 as more and more manufacturers join in with their own product lines.
