IS IT TRUE THAT THE SAMSUNG UN65F8000HAS 6O HZ INSTEAD 240Z

It better have the 240HZ refresh rate! That is my understanding. When this question was posted I looked at the specs from other sights including cnet which confirmed that it was 240HZ. This is supposed to be Samsung's top of the line model.

Jean, I've got a 65" F8000 and I've looked thru the book and in the emanual on the TV and see nowhere does it list refresh rate. That may be a term that gets complicated when you're dealing with Smart TVs. On the Samsung website, it lists a 1200 clear motion rate and the Amazon site tech details say 240 HZ. I can find neither with the pubs that came with it. I can only say that it's a superior picture for action and movement onscreen from my layman's point of view.

the 60 HZ is the AC outlets in your house,everything you plug into your wall is 60 HZ and 120 volts.the refresh rate on the TV is 240

It really depends. Nowadays, there are TV manufacturers which releases 120Hz TV. Means that the refresh rate is double compared to the 60Hz. The real difference or he most noticeable between the two is when watching fast action like sports or car racing on HD. Watching non-HD broadcast, under 60Hz images are just the same with 120Hz. Bottomline depending on your eyes/brain that can handle images that will look much better, maybe worse or basically no difference at all. Hope this helps. -Ely

The EH6000 series is Samsung's 2012 lineup. The TVs are 120Hz, but advertise 240Hz Full Motion Plus (this is one of many options available to select in the picture settings menu). In my opinion, the Full/Auto Motion Plus feature is a gimmick, and I do not use it. FYI - I own the 60EH6000.

What he means by "true" 120Hz technology is that you aren't getting 120 Hz from your source, the TV just creates it, kind of like upconverting an old DVD, you dont get "True" 1080p because the DVD is only 480p. You also don't get true 120Hz because the DVD is 24Hz or 30Hz. So, technically speaking, right now I don't know of any way you can get a true 120Hz picture other than maybe a very high end PC if there are any that support it. That is also assuming that the TV would accept it as input, many TVs are strange like that.

I had tried this TV but the 120hz wasn't fast enough for me. I returned it and purchased the 240hz model 7100. It's more expensive, but the picture looks much better. I'm very happy with it. It will give you the effect you mentioned.

I had the same concerns as you regrading Hz. There is a CONSIDERABLE difference that you can notice between 60Hz and 120HZ when watching fast paced movies (fast n furious) or sports. However, there is less of a difference when you move from 120Hz to 240Hz. I've read that the 650B series/model is the same as the 850A series, except the 850A is just somewhat slimmer/thinner. I opt'ed for the 750B because I got a great price from SEARS ($1999.00) and I compared it to Sony's XBR9 series and I liked the Sammy better. Also, I was reading the blogs and although the 850A is a great TV, the majority of comments stated the 750 is the way to go. So you are aware, BB was selling the 850A for $1899.00 on their web-site.

It is both. The TV has software that convert the 120Hz to 240Hz when the TV is ON. Thanks

You had the ask the guy that owns a custom home theater company.It's true 240HZ. It's one of their higher end models. I installed this exact tv in a master bedroom of a clients house about a month ago. They are very happy with it and report a fabulous video with totally amazing 3D. It's a great TV and amazon has had some of the best prices I've seen for it anywhere.

It's 240Hz, you can verify this on LG website, http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55LA9650-led-tv

If you mean what is the difference between 60hz and 120hz, it is a refresh rate(speed) that changes the blacks to whites and back again to provde for a smoother motion especially when watching sports. The higher the number the better. 240hz being the highest true refresh rate. If you see 600hz in a plasma it is not a true refresh rate number. It is 60 hz flashed 10 times a sec.

As of today, no 4K TV manufacturer has claimed a 240HZ refresh rate. Surprisingly even cnet has miss spec'd this TV as having 240Hz. Nowhere in the specs of this TV does Samsung claim 240Hz. Samsung advertises this TV as 1200 clear motion, which, to be honest, is a made up number and all TV manufacturers will be using some made up marketing number this year on their TV's. So, for now, there is no 240Hz 4K TV's. That being said, don't let that stop you because technically there is so little difference between the 120Hz and 240Hz effect on liquid crystals that no one can tell the difference even if they say they can. The motion improvements on these TV's all takes place in the video processing, frame creation and strobing back lights.

Hi G.Thomas, Please take a look at this link: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/lcd-tv/LN52B630N1FXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=forum and click on question "my set says 60hz in upper left hand corner i though the set was a 120hz is there some way to do it? thank you " As the guy explains: A: That's a great question. The processor on the Samsung 120Hz/240Hz units will always display at their respective Hz. Even when the signal is only being transmitted at 60Hz, it will always display at 120Hz/240Hz since the processor is always upconverting the signal. Activating the Auto Motion Plus feature will allow for judder reduction and blurring reduction, depending on what settings you activate. This will enhance your 120Hz/240Hz viewing. The reason you are seeing the 60Hz in the info box is because the info box only displays the signal's actual Hz and screen resolution and not the info of the picture on the screen after the TV processes it. Meaning that the 60Hz you are seeing is the signals actual Hz and not the screen's Hz. Currently there is no way to display the screen's Hz in the info box. -MrSamsung So as long as you have automotion turned on you are getting the full capability of the tv. It does not have anything to do with what signal you are getting from dish.

No the tv is 60hz and only operares at 1080i.that's false advertizement and they wouldn't let me return it. Please don't purchase it!

Currently there are no Samsung 55 inch LCDs with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The closest is the B750, but it only comes in 52 inches.

The refresh rate is actually (probably, hard to get a definitive answer) 120hz; Samsung uses a technology they call "clear motion" to provide what they consider the equivalent of a 240hz refresh rate. Some other manufacturers do likewise (using either the same or different technology) to claim a larger refresh rate; for example LG calls theirs "TruMotion". The technology is beyond me, but if you'd like more details do a search for "refresh rate", or ask (in a search engine) a question like "what is Clear Motion refresh rate". I know CNET.com does a fairly detailed explanation. Both they and Consumer Reports cautions on taking these claims at face value as in their reviews they say they commonly see some tv's w/lower claimed refresh rates having a better pic (less fast action blur) than other tv's w/higher claimed refresh rates. It sucks, but we're stuck with this goofy arrangement and at the mercy of the manufacturers claims.

it depends on what you use it for. It wont make any difference with gaming because the 240 hz refresh is disabled. you will notice a difference with fast moving scenes and sports displayed in HD. You can get a un46b8000 or un55b8000, both are 240 HZ LED tv's with very good picture quality. They are cheap right now as well because the new 2010 models are out.
