    Meh. Manufacturers would like to believe so. But IMO no. Right now I'd swap my screen for a CRT that can do 16*12@100hz+. Only reason for me no to is desk space

    I don't believe so. That's why it'd be 4:3. I'd happily trade for an Iiyama 22" CRT

    Ewww CRT.

    Anyway, the TV should upscale to 100hz but you're still getting 50hz input from the PC of course, so that's 50fps for gaming and vsync considerations.

    Hmmm I will have to wait and see I guess but surely 50hz vsync @ 100hz... will cause some problems such as doubling the frames and stuttering maybe? Oh well I will have to just try it and see I should get it start of next week... Hmmmm how bad is the IR on plasmas in 2012? Is it overstated by people or will playing a game for 3 hours burn the HUD into the screen?

    I don't see why it would cause stuttering, but on my Panny it does cause image doubling. Luckily I have no reason to ever use 50hz but it would certainly be an issue for me, mostly in games running 50fps. I do also notice the framerate difference between 50 and 60fps. There's more input lag and motion is marginally less fluid.

    I've been using my G30 for over a month now as a full-time PC monitor. I get retention but it goes away when displaying moving images for a while. No burn-in so far.

    So do you play at 60hz on your panny? Eugh I don't see how you can not see the flickering if you play at 60hz! Seems that some people are bothered by it and some aren't :S

    Yup 60hz. I see the flickering but it doesn't bother me to any meaningful extent.
