In addition, the California-based company said that the system synchronizes the intensity of the adjustment of the light source with the current video image to be displayed in better way. This technology will likely be implemented on the upcoming iTV, whose launch is planned for the end of 2012. Please note that they are still rumors, although quite insistent.
