Actually plasma screens are in total 600hz but they are divided in 10 subfields, each of which run at 60hz. But in conclusion, 10 subfields of 60hz reduce motion blur almost to zero and look alot cleaner than 1 subfield of 120hz, 240hz, etc.

When were 100Hz LCD TV's released?

100Hz (or 120Hz in North America) is a technique of doubling the frame rate of the incoming signal. It pre-dates LCD televisions by a number of years and was a feature of CRT televisions from the early 1990s. The frame doubler was effective at reducing flicker that could sometimes be a problem in CRT televisions. LCD televisions do not have the same issues with flicker but 100Hz and 120Hz LCD televisions have been available virtually from the time LCD screens were introduced.
