The problem with 100hz sets (if) there is a problem, usually 100hz cannot be totally disabled, not like flicking a switch and flipping between a true 50hz and back again.

The main problem is video memory- if there isn't enough memory buffer during a fast pan something has to give. Either it stops working, or the video processor drops resoultion.

Some 100hz sets are better than others.

The scene I used was Antz, in the picnic scene, R2. A slow camera pan. Plugged into the Tosh 100hz PF, pixellates- even my brother noticed it (and he's never seen 100hz sets going before- said "What the hell is that?", and the sales guy even noticed it. Put over to a 50hz set, no pixellation.

I would rather have a slight shimmering from PAL 50hz than the image breaking up into pixels, roughly 3cm x 3cm.

The disc was clean.

And did I not say to the OP to compare 100hz sets?
