    Hi folks,

    Looking for a little advice regarding a few TV's I'm looking at buying:

    I was in DID today & was looking at 3 Panasonic Veira LED TV's all 42 inch. As far as I can understand the main difference between them is the refresh rate. The cheapest at approx €1000 is 400 Hz, next is 800Hz while the most expensive at €1600 is 1600Hz. My question is, is it worth the extra for the 1600Hz tv. I watch allot of sport but dont have a HD feed...

    Thanks for the help

    Benny

    edit: this is the spec of the TV in question: http://www.did.ie/panasonic-viera-42-led-tv-tx-l42dt50b

    That's a lot of money to see the same image 32 times (assuming 50hz source signal).

    The highest frame rate that the panel can cope with is 200Hz. Anything else is based on backlight blinking.

    i think a lot of the technology there is related to 3D which you will probably never use
