Today Hulu announced that they have added 60 FPS support to 33 new channels. So what is FPS? Well, frames per second (FPS) tells you how many times the image on your screen is refreshed every second. The more frames, the smoother the image looks. For a scripted drama 30fps will look great; however, for faster action such as sports, many want 60fps to help the action look smooth on the screen.
