TV refresh Overclocking question

Greetings.

So i got a question for u TV/monitor guru's out there.

I have a Panasonic TH-42PZ85BA plasma tv that i have had for about 4 or so years now, its always been used as a PC VDU.

It has 100hz Double Scan & Inteligent Frame Creation, to my knowledge both these features mean that the back end hardware atleast can run at higher than 60hz.

So am i right in asuming that it would be pssible to force more than 60hz via say the GTX 780's new TV/Monitor overclock feature ?
(note i dont have the 780 yet)

I just need some advice on if i can get more than 60hz out of this Plasma TV.

Cheers
 
Probably not but worth a try. My panasonic TX-P50UT50 plasma has a focus field drive frequency of 2500Hz, it doesn't mean i can force refresh rates higher than 60Hz. There is a good explanation of the tech here. Your tv pre-dates this FFD naming and probably uses the old sub field drive name. I might be lucky as mine is a 3D set which may well have hidden 120Hz support. Non 3d sets I'm not sure on.

IFC (intelligent frame creation) is an interpolation method which gives a very smooth frame rate appearance (soap opera effect) but it significantly increases input lag.

TBH, you aren't going to better a plasma on motion resolution. Almost all averagely priced LED/LCD sets cannot even resolve the full 1080 lines and usually suffer from heavy ghosting. One of those "gamer" screens with 120-144Hz refresh rates is pretty much the only way to get what you seek, but it will come at the expense of colour accuracy, uniform picture brightness and black level.

From what iv been able to find out about 100hz Double Scan. it bassicaly takes a 50hz input and doublres each frame to reduce screen flicker. Therefor its it must be running at 100hz. So...yea i should be able to get 100hz via my PC.
I was just hoping som1 else with 100hz double scan had tried this already lol
