Typical HDTVs display video at 60 frames per second, also referred to as "60Hz." LCD TVs with 120Hz refresh rate double that rate to 120 video frames per second, usually by creating 60 new frames and inserting them between the original 60 frames. LCD models with 240Hz refresh rate double the frame rate again. Because each frame appears for a shorter time, on-screen motion looks smoother, with less blur. This improvement is especially noticeable when viewing fast-action sports and video games. Plasma TVs display very smooth motion without the need for faster refresh rates.

Virtually all new "Internet-ready" TVs will let you watch movies, TV shows, or other video content streamed from the web. Different TV makers have partnered with different online video sources, whether it's a subscription service like Netflix, or an on-demand service like Vudu or Amazon Video On Demand. Internet movie streaming requires connecting your TV to your broadband Internet service.
All LCD TVs require some type of illumination behind the actual LCD panel. The type of illumination affects the TV's picture contrast, black level, and color range. Lower-priced LCDs generally use a fluorescent backlight. Many higher-performing LCD TVs use LED illumination. Some models place the LEDs at the edges of the screen; the most advanced models use a grid of LEDs behind the screen divided into sections which can be independently switched on and off, a feature called "local dimming." Plasma TVs are self-illuminating and don't require a backlight.
TVs that can display 3D images have screens that are specially designed for 3D - they can draw images quickly enough to show alternating images for the right eye and left eye. To see the 3D effects, each viewer must wear compatible 3D glasses.
There is an input on the TV that allows you to connect it to your PC.
