100Hz technologies such as Samsung's Motion Plus aim to combat judder and ghosting effects by adding extra frames to program material, and this can also make fast-moving content such as sport appear smoother.
These new frames are not simple duplicates but "interpolated" -- for example, the TVs processor works out where a football should be between one frame and another and inserts it at the midway position. Depending on the complexity of the scene there can be up to 25 extra frames inserted.
However, there are some problems with this budding technology, and these usually take the form of haloing and ghosting. Watch the video for more information.

Actually, NTSC/ATSC is 29.97... okay so that's practically 30fps. Just one error in the video. There was a reference to US programs and programs in NTSC like the Simpsons. To the best of my knowledge, programs filmed using film or created digital (like the Simpsons with digital ink) are output in both PAL and NTSC for different markets. We get the Simpsons in native PAL 25fps and the US in native ATSC 30fps. Only programs shot on video have that issue.
