David, you still looking to change the setting on your new box from 100Hz? If so, press the 'Picture' button on the top left of the remote and you will see the option on the screen. I found that '100Hz Plus' or 'Progressive modes to give the best picture quality

[5lab]

i *believe* that on 100hz tellys the picture is always actually 100hz, the button will just change how the picture is drawn to 100hz - thats what happens on my toshiba..

I have

Contrast
Bringtness
Colour
Sharpness
Colour Balance
P-NR
AI

Thats it

it is a 100Hz TV though

[Zak33]

might auto switch...

DVD is 100hz......normal telly and Video is 50hz.

Frankly....leave the bugger alone if it looks good

[Howard]

A 100Hz TV is in 100Hz all the time.

A 100Hz TV is in 100Hz all the time.

Can you explain this a bit more? I read somewhere about not being able to bypass the 100Hz circuit or something.

I can switch between 50Hz and 100Hz on my Sony. I have a feeling that this just switches off the extra processing on the picture though.

50Hz is best for fast moving objects on screen e.g. Football - 100Hz is best most other times e.g. digital tv, dvds.

Does the 50Mhz mode allow you to play lightgun games like Time Crisis? I've heard they don't work with 100Mhz TVs.

[Zak33]

A 100Hz TV is in 100Hz all the time.

sadly....that aint true....Philips for one definately give you the choice on the Menu.

Not that Howard is wrong.....cos he might be right....MAYBE the TV just draws the lines twice.....is likely.

Please Howard..dont be miffed by me disagreeing....just trying to get the right answer

[Howard]

I'm not miffed I was just under the impression that a 100Hz TV works in 100Hz all the time, even in things like analog TV broadcasts (unless you switch).... I also didn't know that you could switch to 50Hz... Didn't know the picture tubes could work like that

[DsW]

Does the 50Mhz mode allow you to play lightgun games like Time Crisis? I've heard they don't work with 100Mhz TVs.

No idea. I don't see why lightgun games wouldn't work.
Time to dust off that old Time Crisis gun...

42" Rear Projection TVs have a poor picture quality, especially the Tohisbas. And from the slightest angle you wont be able to view the image on the screen properly, tis why I have a 32" CRT instead.

Wouldn't totally agree with you there.

I'd say the worst problem with RPTVs is light whether it be electrical or natural light while watching something with night time scenes or just dark pics. Reflection probs.

Viewing from an angle poses no problems with our 42" Panasonic and the picture quality from a quality source such as DVD is very good.
