50hz, 60hz or 100hz?

Hi.

My Tosh CRT is on it's last legs - 10+ years old; so I'm looking to replace it with another Tosh.

I was going to get the 37x3030DB 1920x1060 res http://www.gottatoshiba.com/catalog/product/37x3030db5%20special%20offer , but it appears to be only a 50hz.

The other option is the 37WLT68, which is 100hz but is only a 1366x768 res. http://www.gottatoshiba.com/catalog/product/37wlt68

I will only really be using it for normal viewing plus a bit of PS2 action - however, in the future, I might get a Wii (or whatever). I don't currently have SkyHD either.

Ignore the prices on the Tosh website; scandalous....

I would appreciate any comments.

Many thanks

Try Laskys

You will find that virtually all LCD and plasmas will cope with the 60Hz required for gaming

Hi. Any one with sensible advice please?

Refresh rates are a load of rubbish on a LCD/Plasma. They don't mean a damned thing. Refreshing was only needed on CRTs because of the way they worked. The dots making up an image would be bright for a few milliseconds before fading so needed to be "refreshed" to maintain the image. With LCD/Plasma, the pixels remain in a steady state until they're told to change so don't need refreshing.

Response time is more important but then again, that's marketspeak as well to a point.
