So I'm in a need of a new TV..I'm not willing to spend too much as I'm not using it daily..mostly for movies every now and then and sometimes for gaming.
So the TV is:
Sony KDL48R550CBAEP
48 inch full HD, Smart TV, WiFi built in, basically everything I need...
But the question is...the referesh rate of the TV is 100 HZ (It has the MotionFlow 100HZ, so I suppose thats it right), will it cause any issues with playing games on high def? Like is the picture going to be ok? Or will there be any issues with the quality, laggy movement etc? Should I go for higher refresh rate TVs?

Thanks in advance

refresh rate means basically nothing. the tv manufacturers have done a good job making you think it does....

FWIW many of the new Sony TVs for 2015 support 1080p @ 120hz from a PC(nothing on the lower end I don't think though). When you see motion rate or motionflow, automotion etc mentioned it's interpolation only. Meaning that is not the native refresh rate. I have a SOny KDL55W900A that says MotionRate 960 lol.

rtings.com also offers information on what resolutions and refresh every TV they review can accept from a PC.

All of the current Vizios 60" and above are 120hz native and support 120/1080p input. Cant speak for others.
