    You won't be able to have a 120 kHz refresh rate on your TV (at least not right away), but if it pans out, your standard TV could have a much higher resolution for no added cost.

    25 percent better or so? Not a math wizard, just a guess.

    I can't really picture it either. I wonder if it'd make it so I could read words on the tv without my glasses. I'm getting so blind in my old age!

    See, I'd argue the Atari had what should be called 'megapixels'. This 1080p wizardry should be called 'minipixels' :meh:
