  • Publication number: 20090027551
    Abstract: A method for processing a video signal and a video display apparatus using the method are provided. The video display apparatus compares a current video field to a previous video field two fields earlier than the current video field, detects motion information, and de-interlaces the current video field using the detected motion information. Therefore, it is not necessary to wait until the next video field is input in order to detect motion information regarding the current video field, and thus it is possible to prevent video delay.
