Hello All
We're finally looking to be rid of our trusty CRT and dip our toes into the world of new fangled flat panels.
I was in a shop the other day and had a side by side comparison of a 50hz and a 100hz LCD TV (same size/brand/range) with identical source material. Whilst there was no problem with flicker with the 50hz TV, there was a noticeable judder in panning which was absent on the 100hz version. That said, the picture on the latter was almost too smooth, making a movie look like video, albeit exceptionally clear.
Is this normal behaviour for such a comparison? I'm a little confused as I thought 100hz was designed to eliminate flicker only. Is an artificially level of smoothness a downside of 100hz?
Cheers
