Can anyone tell me if these sets allow you to switch between 100 and 50Hz scanning please?

I have the 36" model and it's 100Hz only. No 50Hz mode.

100Hz is a strange thing indeed. I couldn't tolerate it on my old Philips 32PWsomethingorother but on the Tosh, the 100Hz picture is very impressive and stable. I initially had Natural Scan enabled which made the picture so stable it looks like a painting but that introduced motion artifacts with horizontal scrolling so I weened myself off it. I had DNR enabled (set to auto) and last weeks episode of The Blue Planet convinced me that DNR was bad also (very fine detail gets mistaken for noise) so off that went. Basically, turn off all the digital processing and you end up with a very clean 100Hz picture. Add a component connected DVD and it's heavenly. :)
