That I did not know, what are the differences between PAL and NTSC?

To put it very simply NTSC is output at 29.97(30) fps at a resolution of 720x480, whilst PAL is output at 25fps at a resolution of 720x576.

Is PAL interlaced or progressive?

Regardless of the PAL vs NTSC differences, what you are refering to is motion enhancement, which is independent of the set's refresh rate and can be turned up/down/off. A set that refreshes in multiples of signal Hz will have less signal processing to do, and 'should' give you a better overall picture. There are countless threads around here discussing motion enhancement.

I have been unable to tell the difference between Auto Motion Plus turned on or off, when on and with settings on the low side does improve motion during fast moving action. It helps out a lot when cameras pan left to right, it just repeats frames a certain number of times.

Default 100 hz

It actually has to do with how electricity is supplied in european countries. AC or alternating current which means the changes polarity. Their electricity cycles 50 times a second compared to our 60. this is why we have 60 120 and 240. they have 50 100 and 200hz tv's. i belive the 25 fps of blu-ray video also is to make up for their power differences. that is why you can't use some of our electronics overseas. i believe this is all correct but i may be mistaken.
