JVC to release second-generation LCD TV

JVC Company of America has announced new 1080p LCD TVs featuring Clear Motion Drive II, the company’s second-generation high-speed LCD technology.

The technology features 10-bit colour, a 120Hz refresh and provides a five-times improvement in motion detection compared with that provided by the original technology which was launched in Japan in 2005.

The new technology detects image data from more than 8,000 surrounding dots in a frame to create a pixel and calculate movement from each frame to the next to eliminate blurring and flickering and deliver crisp, fast action images.

While the original technology detected only horizontal motion, Clear Motion Drive II interpolates for movement in all directions.

The sets will initially be distributed in three sizes: 37, 42, and 47 inches and will be available this autumn in the USA as part of JVC’s High Speed 2 series.

All three sizes use HDMI 1.3 connections and feature a new cabinet with a bezel that measures less than 1.5” all the way around the set - in line with the company’s philosophy to provide ‘maximum screen, minimum cabinet’.
