No 100hz is OK. You do need to make sure the TV is 1080p to get the best from BluRay.
Frankly unless you have a huge screen you won't notice the difference.
Also remember that to get the best from full HD you need to sit very close to the TV. Twice the diagonal of the TV is the optimum distance. It seems close at first but you get used to it.
Gotcha. Thanks.

Re: Technophobe needs advice, TV&DVD purchasing
On a side note someone was moving and gave me tv newer than the one I had which must have been 10 yr old but working perfect.Anyway I took it to local tip along with an old type computer monitor but again working monitor saying it seems stupid to be throwing away items that work perfect. When I got to the tip guy said put it in that container over there, which I did it was stacked to the roof with the same many looked much newer than the ones I was getting rid off. It hit me what a wasteful society we have become. The old tube type telly's did seem to last forever.

These give a reasonable idiot's guide to TV, plenty to read to confuse you!
