Is there any news on TV manufacturers making 240Hz OLED TVs with native BFI for 24Hz content like movies? Or are they not going to bother implementing it?

You will continue to need an external box (like a Retrotink 4K) to add BFI to movies.

Retrotink 4K accepts 1080p24 (HDCP-free) and can BFI it for you into single/double/triple strobe 1080p48/96/144 ...

You will need 2 refresh cycles per strobe because you have a visible frame and a black frame.

It can even add a CRT electron beam simulator to your movies too (like www.testufo.com/crt ...)

Be noted you're limited in bandwidth (1080p only) and only 8bpc, so you won't keep 10/12bpc.

Thank you for the reply. My question is, why though? Why won't these TV manufacturers incorporate this technology within their TVs? I don't get it. Is it all just cost cutting?

Probably not enough demand from general users I guess. So external solutions like retrotink were developed as a workaround.

I would love to see 240Hz OLED TVs make it to market. It's wild to me that the six figure μLED displays are still stuck at the same 120Hz that OLED TVs generally are.

I also want to drop a mention of my video processing software, Vint. The Retrotink is a great standalone device that can take in a console or bluray player video signal and upscale it. The Retrotink is however very expensive because of its FPGA and has those low bandwidth restrictions.

Vint has a wide range of BFI options like multi-strobe, CRT scanout simulation, and a ultra high fidelity interpolation engine. Vint is also able to run at any resolution and output a VRR signal. It'll run on your existing computer and is only $20 on Steam and goes on sale for $15.
