Today's LCD flat panels are already obsolete
ONE OF THE overriding themes at CES has been the dramatic improvements in LCD panel technology.

The 120Hz overscan virtually eliminates the motion blurring that occured on 60Hz LCD models. In scenarios where the content is panning there is a dramatic benefit from having the additional frame generated.
