Most conventional LCD panel uses 50 frames per second (50 Hz) to display an image which needs long holding
time (time it takes to display single frame), causing blurring or ghost images when there is rapid or complex
movement across the screen - a phenomenon common to all LCD panels.

By using “Auto Demonstration”, you can display the differences between conventional LCD (50 Hz) and LCD panel
equipped with “100Hz Clear Motion Drive”.

erience /----

PREPARE

This TV is equipped with JVC’s original “100Hz Clear Motion Drive” technology, which displays two frames (the
original plus the new interpolated frame) in the time a 50 Hz set displays a single frame. Resulting to double the
typical rate, 100 frames per second (100 Hz) and half the holding time without reducing brightness or contrast.
By using this technology you will be able to reduce blurring or ghost images when there is rapid or complex
movement across the screen.
