Re: 50hz v 100hz CRT TVs




MS> spent some time at the weekend touring the electrical shops looking
at new TVs (CRT).  No reading the specs online I think I've picked up the
advantage of a 100hz TV incorrectly from the
MS> salesmen.  I think he said that on fast sports like football or
grand prix there could be bluring on a convential (i.e. 50hz?) TV whereas
on a 100hz screen this would be eliminated.  Trouble is
MS> on my 20 year old Sony I don't think I've ever noriced any blurring!
:-)  Was that just sales bull??

It's sales bull. The degree of blurring depends on the effective
shutter speed of the camera; normally 1/25 of a second. (1/75 of a
second for super slo mo cameras.)

The only advantage of 100Hz TVs is the reduction in large area
flicker, unfortunately all the 100hz TVs that I've seen introduce
processing artefacts that are more annoying than the flicker.
