100 Hz
100 Hertz provides a superior solution to
the problem of picture flicker which is
particularly noticeable with larger screen
sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area is
scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) – a
frequency which is still detectable by the
human eye in the form of a flickering picture.
In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is
scanned at a rate of 100 times per second
(100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye
cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer
picture which is more relaxing to the eye.
