All LCD TVs fall victim to some level of motion blur. During fast-action sequences, the display can’t keep up, turning a speeding racecar into a multicolored streak. So Hitachi added a darker frame in between each of the standard 60 frames drawn every second. The added frame is very dark, giving a sharper look to the next bright frame that appears. The darkness increases the perceived blacks, heightening contrast. In a side-by-side comparison . . . well, there is no comparison. $3,000; hitachi.us/tv
