Comparison between 50 Hz and 100 Hz Sony BRAVIA LCD TV

Sony BRAVIA is one of the most widely trusted LCD TV companies in the world. The Sony BRAVIA is regularly launching new High definition LCD TV models with different prices. They provide facilities in each TV according to their price. These models are largely based on 50Hz and 100Hz specifications. But what does this “hertz” mean exactly? Hertz is a measure of the cycles completed per second. In the case of TV, it indicates how many frames per second it can display.

50Hz and 100Hz do not represent a huge difference in the quality of the TV. It is an additional quality of a TV to have 100Hz. But price may vary whether it is 50Hz or 100Hz. The higher specification 100Hz model is obviously more expensive, with newer more expensive technology being used.

As a customer you need to decide what you need for your application. The model you choose will vary according to what you want it for as both models are extremely good TVs. Here are some guidelines which can help you to understand the differences between the two:

Frames  per second:

A 50 Hz TV can display 50 frames per second and a 100 Hz TV can display 100 frames per second. This means that the 100Hz model displays more images per second, effectively reducing the time that each picture is displayed for.

Motion picture:

The main reason for needing the 100Hz model is if you are going to be watching fast paced action and sports. Because the 50Hz model shows fewer pictures per second, the viewing of fast paced programs can appear blurry. This means that one way to increase your viewing experience is to purchase the 100Hz model. However, put side by side, a lot of people will never be able to notice the difference.

Smooth Picture:

Due to less blurred objects in the 100Hz model than in the 50Hz one, it will show you a smoother picture. You can watch the multimedia, sports and games with a lot smoother picture quality.

Can you actually tell the difference:

In the higher quality brands of LCD TVs, such as the highly respected Sony Bravia TV range, the 50 Hz have the ability to momentarily increase their cycle per second. The technology allows them to realize when there is some fast paced scenes, and uses mathematical equations to increase the Hertz ratings when needed. This means that when you put the Sony Bravia 50 & 100 Hz models next to each other, it is very hard to tell the difference. This technology is only present in the top of the line brands, proving once again why it is advantageous to purchase a quality brand like Sony Bravia.

Power consumption:

There is a slight difference in power consumption between the two models. 100Hz uses 2-3 more watts/second than 50 Hz TV. This is a very small difference, but is technically true. For every day users, the cost is not noticeable. The only time it would be noticeable will be for applications where you are using a high number of these, such as in a display centre for your business.

Cost:

The 100Hz models use newer and more expensive technology, and are subsequently more expensive. The difference in price varies for different sizes and specifications.

So, with all this considered which model do I suggest? Well, at the end of the day it comes down to application. For those of you that are wanting the best of the best, you can’t go past the 100Hz models. However, with the better quality brands offering outstanding technology in their 50Hz models, this model will more than suffice for the average consumer. Whichever model you pick, you will be blown away by the picture quality, sound and all around viewing experience that the Sony Bravia Range produces.
