JVC: Three Next-Gen 120Hz 1080p

JVC announced their new Clear Motion Drive II (CMD II), second-gen 120Hz technology that blasts frames out of LCD displays at a blistering pace, double that of garden-variety 60Hz LCD screens.

JVC says the motion interpolation in CMD II is five times better than its 720p predecessor. The new technique was designed specifically for 1080p displays. JVC plans to use CMD II in its High Speed 2 series, with the first three LCD displays to be rolled out this fall, including a 37-inch, a 42-inch, and a 47-inch LCD, all with three HDMI 1.3 inputs.

JVC says the result is less blurring of moving images.

Skinny DLP set: makes fun of fat TVs

If you're tired of your fat HD TV but don't want to brake the bank buying a plasma or LCD TV, check out the new JVC HD-58S998. The slimmest DLP TV on the market has gotten pretty good reviews on Cnet. The JVC goes for about $2,400 and doesn't sacrifice performance for price. Cnet says if not for a few geometry issues (the TV couldn't display perfectly straight vertical or horizontal lines), this 1080p set would have been a near-perfect.

So if your eyes are not that of a jeweler and you're in the market for a thin HD set, take a look at this one.
