More than what I see I cannot comment on.
100Hz was useful for reducing flicker on CRTs, it's true. On digital displays (LCD/plasma) which don't refresh in the same way, it's much less useful. Many 100Hz TVs are now better than many 50Hz TVs but it's not because of the 100Hz, it's because of all the other componentry etc.

(The best thing about modern 100Hz TVs is that most of them also do 96Hz and so can play 24fps material without pulldown judder.)
