Once again - you are confusing pixel response time with screen refresh. The
two are not the same - period.

As I have said 3 or 4 times now.

The fastest would NOT require 1/60th of a second to refresh the screen. It
would require the time it takes to send all the new pixel states to every
pixel (one fraction of 1/1000th of a second) and then the time it takes that
particular panel to actually update the pixels on screen. For many LCDs
this is 8ms or more. Some are 20ms - some are even longer. DLP is MUCH
faster, LCD rear projection is also MUCH faster than 8ms.

This is absolutely, 100% impossible for every LCD display available today.

Even the fastest would require 1/60th of a second to completely re-paint
the screen, since the very fastest a pixel can change from one state to
another is 1/60th of a second (athough LCDs with pixels that fast are very,
very rare).
