Thats not true.. its a marketing gimmick... the split the screen into 4 quadrants and each quad MIGHT refresh at 150hz... 150x4 = 600 so they get to say 600hz.... or you get 12 "interpolations" every 50 frames = 600...

Marketing lies tick me off.

edit - I see that panasonic has even taken it a step further

their 600hz claim refers to the processor... wtf?!

Panasonic UK Ltd (Panasonic) said the "600Hz technology" referred to the processing power, not the frame rate. They explained that the frame rate (or refresh rate) was the rate at which the image on the screen was refreshed, whereas the processing power, an electronic pulse, was applied to the incoming TV picture before it was displayed on the screen.

So just be careful with the marketing bs from ALL tv companies these days.
