    The 100/120Hz thing on TVs is mostly used internally only to create smoother motion by producing in-between frames of 50/60Hz signals. I would expect that most TVs out there will not sync on anything above 60Hz. Even if they do I don't think you'll find many devices that output 60+ Hz.

    Now with regards to a PS3,it will only ouput at the standard frame rates of 50 or 60mhz which NTSC or PAL uses.

    From what I've read, 3D games will require 100hz screens to give you a 50hz refresh rate, or 120hz screens to give you 60hz refresh rate, such as the game based on the Avatar movie.
    Also, LED screens make a big difference in picture quality compared to LCD, but they're much more expensive

    But as usual to have this tv would be a luxury really :/ Unless true '3D' games come into play, I see no reason to buy it. Unless ofcourse you always need the latest toy

    I'm still playing on a 22" LCD, there's no need for me to upgrade at the moment, I'm waiting for this 3D tech to become more mainstream before I join in
