The business is a joint venture of Toshiba and Matsu****a Electric Industrial, known primarily for its Panasonic-brand products. A display operating in progressive scan mode refreshes its image much more frequently than one in interlaced scan mode, used by most televisions to show pictures. Progressive scanning results in a more detailed image, but consumes a lot more power than an interlaced scan, Echigo said."</i><br /><br />Anything that gives my notebook PC more power when I'm using it out on the road is a great thing in my book! Bring it on.
