LG Display has announced plans to wow Vegas with its Trumotion 480Hz LCD TV. Not only does the display refresh more than 4 times faster than most of the current offerings on the market it boasts a response time of 4ms. Needless to say those are some unprecedented specs.

Seoul, Korea (December 30, 2008) - LG Display, a leading innovator of TFT-LCD technology, announced today that it has developed the world’s first “Trumotion 480Hz” LCD TV panel, which has an impressive 480 refresh rate per second, accelerating the advent of ultra high-speed images, without sacrificing picture quality.

In addition, LG Display’s “Trumotion 480Hz” display boasts an lower motion picture response time (MPRT)of 4ms, eliminating motion blurring for fast moving images and enabling a realistic, crystal clear picture. The display also makes dark images even darker and bright images far brighter — providing unparalleled, vivid picture quality. Moreover, it can reduce energy consumption by adjusting the backlight brightness.
