[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1268892, member: 141969"] I am curious -- what video are you watching that has a refresh rate different from 50Hz? If you are watching live TV or recorded TV, the frame rate (for non interlaced) or field rate (for interlaced) will be 25p, 50p, or 50i. Even if you are watching a movie that was originally filmed at 24 frames per second, that will have been converted by the broadcaster to work best when viewed at 50Hz (since your TV is working at 50Hz). If you are watching a European DVD, that will work best at... 50Hz (since it is intended to appear on TVs running at 50Hz). If you are watching home videos filmed with a European video camera, they will work best at... 50Hz (since the manufacturer designed the camera to work best with European TVs running at 50Hz). Caveats: [LIST] [*]This applies to European TV, DVDs, and videos. American equivalents work at 60Hz, so if you are watching American-sourced video material, then a different refresh rate would probably be appropriate. [*]It is quite possible that I have no idea what I am talking about. :eek: [/LIST] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
