“The screens, a key product at IFA, the huge consumer-electronics fair opening Saturday in the German capital Berlin, are getting better all the time at depicting fast motion without leaving brief ghostly trails.

That means frequent model changes and this confuses even sales- people. The fanciful names of all these picture-improving software refinements often leave customers clueless as to what has been changed.

Both LCD and plasma screens have more pixels – the dots making up the picture – than traditional cathode-ray-tube televisions, which means regular TV transmissions have to be reprocessed into a larger number of pixels.

The software makes the contours of the resulting picture less zig- zaggy.”
