Nope, In 100 Hertz sets, the frames are scanned at a rate of 100 times per second, which is twice as often as in a 50Hz set. To be able to double the number of image frames, 100 Hz televisions use a digital memory. The digital memory converts all incoming video signals from analog to digital. It stores every new frame for a split second, so that it can be written a second time (from memory) to the screen. After that, the digital signal is converted back to analog and sent to the screen twice as fast. i guess thats where the digital part comes in.

the colours & image clarity on a 100HZ , in my opinion cannot be matched by any 50Hz or even LCD screen (the lower & middle end systems that are available in the market today). that is my opinion. I believe these TVs are built down to a budget & not built upto a standard, in which case, what we normally get is called VFM. BTW, i have a Phillips 29, which is also a HD compatible TV.

If you are happy with it, what else is required, just go ahead & buy it.
