How much is 100Hz worth. - Blu-ray Forum

BlueThunder · 02-17-2008, 06:45 PM

I have been looking at some Sony TV's recently and have come across two suitable Sony models(European).

These are the KDL-46W3000 (2681E inc VAT) and the KDL-46X3500(3970E inc VAT).

The main difference seems to be the 3000 has Bravia engine EX and the 3500 has Bravia engine pro (I'm sure both are good)

They both claim to do (or accept) 24p input but the 3500 is highlighted at 100Hz.

I'm not sure what refresh the 3000 is or how either handle 24P (possible 96Hz or 72Hz?)

Is it Worth the extra to go 100Hz?
Should I check that the TV can actually display 24p, or can anyone here answer (before annoying Paidgeek

)

Thanks.

My TV does 24p and its the much cheaper and older KDL40D3000U.

The two models you are talking about are native 1080p and higher up in the range than mine. Unless they went backwards I would say your fine
