Televisions that are advertised as 100Hz, 120Hz, 200Hz or higher all use computer processing to add new images between the 50 or 60 images that are broadcast each second. They claim to deliver smoother movement and less flicker and in many cases they work very well. The quality varies between televisions so although a 600Hz television should theoretically be better than a 100Hz model, that is not always the case.
Before investing in a television, always take a good look at the image quality and compare different models. It's not always the most expensive television that looks the best.

What does "100hz" mean for a 100hz television?
100hz on a Television means that the screen is redrawn 100 times its original image. Heres a link that may help a little bit better. http://www.dvdplaza.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=36221
Why would you choose a 100Hz flat screen tv instead of a cheaper 50Hz ordinary one?
100Hz televisions do not "flicker" as much, giving a higher quality picture. Refresh rates are different from interlacing, so if the TV still interlaces the video you will not have as high quality a picture as one that supports progressive scanning.
Why would you prefer a flat 100Hz TV over an older version?
A 100Hz TV has a faster refresh rate than e.g. a 60Hz or 50Hz. This means that the picture is updated more frequently and is therefore clearer. "a flat 100Hz": There are 2 types of "flat" TV's. One is the flat panel TV (e.g. an LCD or plasma) and it's only about 4-6" thick. The obvious advantage of that kind of TV is that you don't need a "place" for it, you can just hang it on your wall. The other kind is a normal TV, but with a flat screen. The advantage of a flat screen is that there is less chance of surrounding light interfering with the picture, i.e. the only light that is reflected off the screen is the light positioned directly in front of the TV. Now it's up to you to decide if the advantages are sufficient to invest in a new TV.
What is an lg 100hz television?
100hz means the picture on the tv is refreshed 100 times a second. The higher the hz the more frames per second which results in a smoother video.
Where can you buy the lg 100hz?
You can buy the LG 100HZ TVs at wholesale websites such as ecost.com or NewEgg.com. Amazon.com, Ebay.com, or BestBuy.com may carry them as well, if they're in stock.
When were 100Hz LCD TV's released?
100Hz (or 120Hz in North America) is a technique of doubling the frame rate of the incoming signal. It pre-dates LCD televisions by a number of years and was a feature of CRT televisions from the early 1990s. The frame doubler was effective at reducing flicker that could sometimes be a problem in CRT televisions. LCD televisions do not have the same issues with flicker but 100Hz and 120Hz LCD televisions have been available virtually from the time LCD screens were introduced.
Who invented 100Hz TV?
Royal Philips Electronics from Holland or more commonly known as Philips.
Is 15000 1 at 50Hz better than 6500 1 at 100Hz?
The question refers to two very different characteristics of a television. The contrast ratio, in this case, 6500:1 or 15000:1 is a measure of how bright and dark the whites and blacks are. The number is very simplistic and doesn't describe how the near blacks and near whites will be shown - that can best be assessed by looking at the screen. 50Hz (60Hz in the US) is the standard broadcast frequency. Any television that claims to be a 100Hz (US 120Hz) display is actually making up frames and fields to insert between those that are actuall broadcast. Although this reduces flicker, it also adds other errors caused by the complex process of adding the fields. Sometimes, the errors can be more disturbing than the flilcker. Once again, the only way to assess it is to watch the image. The most challenging image tends to be fast moving sport or images with lots of movement. The only sensibble answer to the question is to look at both screens and decide which one looks best. After all, you will be the one watching it, so get something that looks good to you.

Does anything broadcast in 120hz or higher?
The standard display rates are 60Hz for North America and 50Hz for Europe. No broadcast material is delivered at 120Hz nor at 100Hz in Europe. There are no plans to move to higher frame rates. 120Hz (100Hz in Europe) is offered as a "flicker free" technology in some high end televisions. The television takes the incoming signal and adds intermediate frames to double the number of frames each second. Whether or not the process offers a better picture is a matter of opinion. Some say that it actually reduces image quality and others will say it improves it. Adding frames will not actually add more information to the image because no interpolation system can add detail that has not been captured by the original cameras. If the view prefers a frame doubled image, that is good enough reason to use it.
100hz vs Hz LCD TV?
Question needs more information. Are you asking what's the difference between a high Hz CRT monitor at 100Hz vs. a lower Hz LCD at 60Hz? If so that answer lies in the way the screen is updated. Please re-ask your question with more details.
