00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.879
television marketing nonsensical terminology or TMNT for short is an

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:11.280
acronym that we made up here at lonus Media Group to describe all of the

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:16.480
overtop terms TV manufacturers use to describe their products refresh rates

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:22.519
these are usually simple to spot as they mostly consist of an adjective slapped

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.680
onto the word motion such as true motion

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.480
Aqua motion or clear motion but do these

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:32.000
proprietary rating systems actually deliver the image quality that we want

00:00:30.279 --> 00:00:36.360
for any who might be unfamiliar with what exactly a screen's refresh rate is

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.719
you can watch our video explaining it in depth right up here but basically it's

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:44.640
the amount of times a screen can update the still images that it strings

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:49.640
together to create motion in a single second with the standard refresh rate

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:51.840
being 60 HZ meaning 60 images or 60

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:56.399
Cycles since most video sources don't exceed that limit demand for faster

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.120
refresh rates has mostly remained among higher grade enthusiasts and

00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:03.800
professionals but recently consumers have been looking for ways to reduce

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:08.360
image degrading effects such as the motion blur seen in high-speed moving

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.320
images which often is a result from a display's inability to refresh quickly

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:16.920
enough so how do these high refresh rate Technologies with the funny names try to

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:21.520
solve this problem not surprisingly they employ different forms of visual

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:26.360
trickery as you can't exactly extract 120 frames per second out of something

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.240
that was only recorded at 60 or even 30 HZ instead these TVs will fool your eyes

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:34.439
into thinking that the refesh fresh rate is higher in some way one common

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.320
technique is called backlight strobing which works by doing something slightly

00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:41.799
differently from a normal LCD monitor modern flat panel displays show motion

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:47.040
by doing something called sample and hold which means it will display a

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:49.320
static image on screen for a full 160th

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.640
of a second or however long its refresh rate is before loading the next one

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:58.479
backlight strobing works by only turning on the display's backlight for a

00:01:55.399 --> 00:02:00.280
fraction of a display cycle and instead

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:05.799
just show a black screen for some portion of that cycle this creates the

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:11.280
illusion of more frames and therefore smoother motion another tactic is called

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:15.360
black frame insertion which works uh much the same way except instead of

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.560
turning off the backl the display just shows a black frame other TVs instead

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:25.239
use motion interpolation which involves a processor inside the display

00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:29.959
generating intermediate frames that are inserted between actual frames from the

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:34.280
video Source because these generated frames are what the eye might expect to

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:39.360
see such as a moving car halfway between point A and B this also makes everything

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.760
appear smoother but how well does this actually work if you've ever been in

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.959
front of a TV that can do this stuff it's pretty obvious that things do in

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:51.480
fact generally look smoother and more flowy than on a more run-of-the-mill set

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.599
whether this is actually a good thing however will greatly depend on who you

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.599
ask the words hyper real and soap oper like have been used to describe this

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.480
effect as while things do look clearer and smoother many people perceive a

00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:08.440
definite fakeness to the resulting motion either because the technology

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:10.480
isn't perfect or because some people are

00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:17.480
just used to lower frame rates making things look theatrical after all many

00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:19.120
movies are filmed and shown at 24 FPS

00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:24.080
and of course it's important to remember that many TVs that advertise

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:26.959
refrigerates of 240 HZ 480 HZ or even

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:31.000
higher often can't actually show nearly that many frames per second rather those

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:35.120
are numbers that roughly indicate what the manufacturer claims the TV can

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:39.959
simulate so I wouldn't recommend trying to build a 4 GPU rig and hook it up to a

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:44.599
so-call 480 HZ television just so you can play TF2 at insan frame rates and

00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:49.560
make sure that you see every single head movement frame and Counter Strike that's

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:55.040
not going to work but you could try and watch me gesticulate in more buttery

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:58.120
smooth detail than ever before you

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:00.879
should use squarespace's 24/7 support

00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:05.200
and live chat or email whatever if you have any troubles with your $8 a month

00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:09.439
website that you got a free domain with cuz you bought it for a year you should

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:13.480
use things like their responsive design so that your website scales and looks

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:18.320
great on any device and if you're looking for a job you should probably

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:21.639
use their cover page module because it looks great if you're trying to sell

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.199
something you should probably use their Commerce module they have modules for

00:04:23.479 --> 00:04:28.560
tons of different things that you could potentially want to use and if you're

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.880
wondering and you're not entirely sure if you want to yet you you should start

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:37.240
a trial with no credit card required and start building your website today when

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.960
you decide to sign up for Squarespace you should make sure to use offer code

00:04:39.039 --> 00:04:45.960
Linus because you should get 10% off Squarespace you should all right guys I

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.160
hope you liked the video if you liked it like it if you disliked it dislike it

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.320
that's cool too if you guys want us to cover other stuff comment down below

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.120
that would be awesome checko Channel Super Fun we recently did this cool

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:00.160
thing with like the bubble things and you run around and hit each other and

00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:03.400
play soccer at the same time I don't know it was fun I got to hit people

00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:10.199
whenever I get to hit people I think it's fun to be completely honest does that make me a bad person I don't know

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.880
also uh you know Techquickie subscribe

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.880
that'd be cool see you
