Does this TV have a true 240Hz refresh rate, or is it 60Hz or 120Hz with "Hocus Pocus" processing to mimic 240Hz (alá "TruMotion" designation)?

All televisions are only 60hz input, the 240hz is internal processing on this tv. If you Google the 60hz input on televisions it will explain why all televisions only accept 60hz, and why they have internal post processing.

Sorry J.C. not a clue. You might try the Affordable Care Web site, it seems to have all the answers.

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.

That is seen with TV's with at least 120Hz refresh rate, this is only 60Hz, so no. Some people don't like it, I actually like it very much, it gives a more realistic look

It is my understanding that TV manufacturers use a variety of ways to achieve the final refresh rate which they include in their advertising. Whether this TV uses a 60Hz panel and a processor or other means to achieve the advertised 120 Hz refresh rate is probably best answered by the manufacturer. What I can tell you is that I have not noticed any problem with motion blur. The on-screen menu has a picture adjustment called "Tru-Motion" which includes a "De-Judder" adjustment with four settings: "Smooth", "Clear", "User", and ""Off". You can experiment with the different settings. My personal opinion is that the picture quality is excellent.

According to the manual it is only 60 Hz vertical refresh rate. However, it is a very nice smart tv. The speakers are slightly better than most tv's these days. Unless you are a fickle videophile you will like the tv.

I have the 55" LM6700 not the 47" but I have noticed that it does appear to be 60hz instead of the advertised 120hz. This doesn't bother me too much because I dislike the way 120 hz. looks. TruMotion is horrible.

Dear Customer,This TV is a 1080P TV, is 60Hz, and accepts voltages of 220-240v.

Actually - it's impossible to have this problem on this TV...see my review; "You will NOT SEE "120Hz TruMotion" on this TV" from February 28, 2013

So its not really 120hz or... what? I just bought the LN40C630, and I notice a lot of juddering still, like its not really working. In the store compared to the other tvs this one looked great during action scenes, but now that i have it in the house, i swear this thing is just as juddery. I messed with the settings for auto-motion and it seems like it may have even gotten worse *confused*....

One is 120hz and the other is 240hz...this is the refresh rate..in other words the higher the number the faster. If a car speeds by or someone turns their head quickly there may or may not be a "ghost". I have the 6100 with 120hz and it's perfect. Juat make sure to get a high speed HDMI cable. the cable Amazon recommends is fine. Very happy with the tv.

Just to add, 240Hz doesn't mean it will have that weird Soap Opera Effect, that is just the way some big brands process their video with 120Hz and up sets... this one seems very smooth without that lousy effect, I love it!

I purchased this TV specifically based on Amazon's description that indicated 120 hz. I've run into the same conflicting information that you found and unfortunately (especially for me), it appears that the refresh rate is in fact 6ohz. I spent several days trying to find the 120hz switch in all of the settings and couldn't find it. Finally, I checked in the manual and it says the XBR series of Sony TVs doesn't come with Motionflow (their name for 120hz). I'm still hanging on to the tiniest bit of hope that I'm wrong but I don't think so. If you've seen a 1080p tv play a blueray or hd material with the 120hz on, then you'll know why I'm bummed. It's a truly amazing effect. It doesn't look 3d, but almost like you're watching a play. It's not an effect that would appeal to everyone, but I've seen movies like Spiderman 3, terminator 2 and Pirates of the Carribean and I was blown away. My one bit of hope (and confusion) come from the fact that the previous model (KDL 32XBR4) is described on the Sony website as having Motionflow/120hz but that model was only 720p. I haven't seen what that type of combination looks like, but I'm curious if it still provides the same effect that I've seen on the 1080p models. I spoke to both Circuit City and Best buy reps and both said that there aren't ANY 32" and smaller TVs with 120hz. The smallest it is offered on is 40". Not sure if this helped any but my last bit of research is calling Sony directly and asking them. I'll write back and keep you posted.

Just turn the 120hz (TruMotion) feature off (the TV will still refresh at 120hz, it will just have the stupid TruMotion feature disabled) in the advanced picture options, and your problem will be solved. In addition, if you have a Blu-ray player, set it to output at 24hz instead of 60hz. Now you will have amazing picture quality.

Dear Arch, Thank you so much for your inquiry. The Monster Cable Black Platinum HDMI cable most definitely will handle a 240Hz refresh rate. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

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

I believe you're correct; Amazon has confused Samsung's CMR rate (240) with the refresh rate (120 Hz). This TV listed on every other site I've found is listed as 120 Hz. Also, on Amazon if you click through the size choices, all the other sizes of this model are listed as 120 Hz. Surprised more people haven't noticed/mentioned this.

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.

You're mixing apples and oranges. It's the HDMI 1.4 ports that can only accept a maximum resolution of 3,840x2,160p30 (or 3,840 by 2,160 @ 30 frames per second) assuming 24-bit color because the bandwidth is not wide enough to handle any more than that. HDMI 2.0 (standard just agreed a few months ago) doubles that bandwidth to accommodate 60 fps keeping everything else constant. You're talking about the refresh rate when you mention 120Hz meaning that the TV is refreshing its picture faster than the fps rate of the source material. As of right now, there is no 120 fps video that I'm aware of, but it's supposed to be the standard for UHTV (4k) whenever they start producing 4k native content. Of course, at that point, not even HDMI 2.0 will have a sufficiently wide bandwidth to handle the 120 fps content at 4k resolution. The short answer to your question is that it's not the TV or its refresh rate, but rather the limit of its HDMI ports that is the problem with the current generation of 4k sets.
