Why would you choose a 100Hz flat screen tv instead of a cheaper 50Hz ordinary one?

Answer

100Hz televisions do not "flicker" as much, giving a higher quality picture. Refresh rates are different from interlacing, so if the TV still interlaces the video you will not have as high quality a picture as one that supports progressive scanning.
