50HZ vz 100hz (Quick help appreciated) - Blu-ray Forum

Kieran · 05-10-2009, 08:07 AM

I'm on the verge of buying a new TV this morning but i have just started worrying at the fact that it is 50hz. It is the Samsung Series 5 range, really for budget reasons.

With it being 40in is it REALLY worth holding out for a 100HZ model to fall into my price range? Will the improvement be significant?

hi kieran. i've got a samsung series 6 32 inch 50 htz telly and a sony 40 inch 100 hz xbr4 series and the sony 100 hz leaves the samsung for dead especially when your watching normal telly. pq is much more realistic on the sony.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

the one i have my eyes on is £699 and the 100hx series 6 version is £999

Is it worth that much more?

I have the 40" Samsung 100 Hz which is excellent. But when i check picture info it states its on 50Hz. Where do I switch it up to 100Hz?

Do you notice a specific difference between 50 and 100hz on this TV?

i only own the sony in a 100 hz so i could only tell you to check both out in the store and compare but the 100 hz is way better comparing my 2 tv's. good luck.
