Had to look that one up too.
Wouldn't that make the delay that causes the reported blurring of
action sequences on solid-state TVs even worse?
Or has that problem (IIRC, this comes from the latency in switching
the individual element on or off) been solved?
Or is this yet /another/ attempt to make theatrical presentations so
much better than TV presentations that people will flock -- flock, I
tell you! -- the theaters?
IOW, pure unadulterated marketing whooey.
