Re: [Xbox] Inside Xbox Problem

100Hz is odd, its because its talking about frame-doubling PAL 50Hz. That's
why If figure it probably also supports 120Hz but they only mention 100Hz
because that's relevant to PAL.

For example, I have had the frame-doubling engine (I keep forgetting the name
they call it) turned on when playing games on the PS3 at 60Hz and it
definitely gives the impression of double the frame-rate. I can't imagine it
being that smooth if it was converting 60Hz to 100Hz, would induce more
judder wouldn't it?
