Is it worth getting a 100 mhz tv over a standard hdtv?
Im planning on getting a Hdtv (32") and wasnt sure whether it was worth spending another £200 to get a top of the range 100mhz tv
example- Sony KDL-32D3000
Dynamic Contrast 8000:1
Response Time 8ms
On Screen Contrast 1600:1
Is 100mhz worth the extra cxash, im not rich or anything so would take an extra month to save up for it.
TV would be used for PS3 and watching sports football/soccer, films and t.v.
Should i go for a 100mhz?

120 FPS opposed to 60 FPS, again the only way to get that 120hz is through a 120hz capable cable 9 another $130)
but they look pretty good .

Another person who doesn't know what he's talking about.
This is HERTZ we are talking about, NOT FPS - FRAMES PER SECOND.
HERTZ = Refresh Rate.
That has nothing to do with FPS.
Back on topic, no 100hz isn't worth the extra cash atleast not for now.

This is correct. LCD's do not have a frame rate because liquid crystals stay constant. The closest measurement is the response time, which is how fast a pixel can go on and off and on again.
The refresh rate on LCD's and CRT's are generally 60hz in the united states (NTSC), and 50hz in Europe and other countries that support the PAL standard.
NTSC films are filmed at 24 fps, but broadcasted as 30fps (NTSC). PAL is filmed at 25fps and broadcasted at 25fps. No problems there. NTSC TV's have to internally convert 24fps into 30fps (known as 2:3 or 3:2 pulldown). Naturally, there's some judder or interlacing involved, especially when a 24fps film is converted to 25 for PAL (2:2 pulldown, where every frame is actually doubled except for the 12th frame).
To reduce this juddering, some high-end LCD's can interpolate, or insert a new frame, in between frames from a source. It does this by more or less guessing what should go between frames A and frames B, thus it goes A-'A'-B-'B'-C-'C' etc etc. So, a 60hz television is actually doubled to be 120hz (for NTSC), or from 50hz to 100hz (for PAL).
The high end LCD's that do (such as Sony XBR4 and Samsung's LNT71F series) are still natively 60hz sets, but it can output as a 120hz refresh rate. You do not need expensive 120hz HDMI cables, like Monster 1000.

Well, do you watch a lot of sports or movies? Yes, if you want this cool feature, but by the same token I don't see the benefit as 100hz doesn't divide well into 24fps or 30fps (for NTSC, heh), but if you're PAL then no problem.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
