60hz compared to anything higher,

For several years now I have been using a 55� TV for my flight Sims and everything is working great except I do get a very small amount of jitters with Tracker. I have also been using Tracker for many years now. Before I started using the 55� TV had the 3 monitor system. The big difference between the two systems is that I could use up to 110hz on the monitors and only 60hz on the TV. No fuzziness on the monitor system but always on the TV.
Will going from Tracker 3 to version 5 solve my problem with the TV?
Also not sure just what is meant by 3D unless you are referring to virtual flight compared to 2d panels.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The TrackIR 5 is more accurate, and can eliminate jitter problems that previous generations might have had issues with. It can't help with screen fuzziness.

Hi Vincent
I may have not have explained myself very well. I should not have used the word fuzzy.
As I said previously the TV gives me outstanding sharp images. Example in IL-2, I always fly virtual cockpit, the instruments are extremely sharp to read with Tracker disabled but enabled they do have slight jitters and can still be read but have lost their complete sharpness. You can also see the similar effect in tree leaves. Those are the best 2 examples that I can give you. The same effect shows up in FS9
This may sound like a small matter but I have this thing about images be as sharp as possible. I however do not enjoy flying without TR so will live with slight jitters and in IL-2 would probably be shot down all the time not using it.
If this helps to you understand my problem a little better maybe it is something the Tracker5 will solve.
I just know that going back to my monitors that I run at 75 or 100hz the problem is not there.
Thanks for the fast replies.
