its 100Hz because its the PAL Model and PAL is 25FPS, while NTSC is 30FPS. 25*4=100 30*4=120.
And FYI PAL is Superior to NTSC, while it may not win in resolution now that HDTV res's are the same for PAL and NTSC, it does win out due to the fact that you can play progressive content over interlaced PAL. IE, Movies on PAL 1080i TV Channels are actually 1080p. This is due to the fact that the original 24fps film is either sped up to 25fps (making the movie 3% shorter) or an extra frame is made from 2 blended frames. Eitherway, it allows progrssive content to be played over even 576i channels (and it is).

No 120Hz? No deal... Though the HDMI 1.3 and 25,000:1 contrast is pretty nice...
True, nice LCD specs there, but like "hothotdisco" pointed out, 8ms response time? That's SO 2004, Samsung!
