Turning off 100hz on an LCD TV, what advantage is there to this?

eh? Is this where you guys 'n' gals go down the pub and tell stories of "guess what i got some people believing today"? Or is that really true? I would love to have been a fly on the doctors surgery wall when the line "but doc, every evening when i watch tv i feel sick". Bet the last thing he'd ask was "is your tv set to 100hz"?

No, seriously - some people are more aware than others of the 100hz processing on some sets. I'm sure you find on-screen effects that cause epilepsy equally amusing

not at all, quite the opposite in fact as i have a v close friend who has epilepsy. Comparing epilepsy with motion sickness is a bit steep though. Anyway, i didn't intend to offend anybody and if i have, i truely apologise.

No worries: just trying to stress the genuine effects picture-processing modes can have. People's symptoms may be non-existent, mild or severe, so having an 'off' switch isn't a bad idea.

Potential medical issuse aside, is there any picture advantage to switching it off, say for gaming or such like?

I am trying to decide whether to buy an LMD or LXD Panasonic. I have been hunting for a while as Clare will know and with the price drop of the LMD now £150 cheaper than the LXD I wonder if the 100hz is worth that much more. I have seen an LXD in store and the picture looked almost CRT like next to the other sets during moving scenes (if you can call beyonce dancing around a moving scene)
