what behavior?! does the manual indicate that the 100hz mode isn't available
when connected to the pc output?

have you tried connectig to the dvi or a dvi-hdmi converter and then
connect it to
the tv?!

if you're sure that the mode is supported you chould force it in your
settings (nvidia control panel or xorg.conf).
beware: if you force a mode that your tv doesn't support when
connected to the pc then you'll most likely
burn the tv and/or the videoboard.
