Refresh Rate is 60 HZ. The following is from a CNET review: The main benefit imparted by a 120Hz refresh rate is the ability to introduce smoothing (dejudder) in the image. If you don't care about adding smoothing -- we think it creates a distasteful, artificial look -- then you'll probably be less interested in 120Hz. The EH6000's higher refresh rate also leads to an improvement in motion resolution, but this benefit is quite difficult for most viewers to discern. Note that Samsung's literature uses the term "Clear Motion Rate" instead of panel refresh rate, and assigns higher "CMR" numbers to each TV (240 for the EH6000 and 120 for the EH5300), but that's basically marketing bunk.

Samsung has its own special 'clear motion rate' that they use to determine the hz level. Other companys do it to with their own wording. Basically in short its like saying....samsungs proprietary image processor provides a smoother and cleaner image than the general old school version or knockoff brand and that being said lends the image to look like its 120hz. When combined with the led backlit technology and the panels 60hz refresh rate its basically equivalent to the modern day 120hz models. I have 4 HDTVs and I can tell you that there is a huge difference between samsung and other brands. This particular tv I have hooked up straight to the cable so I don't even get the luxury's of having crystal clear HDTV you get from having a cable box with HDTV features. I have the brightness turned down all the way to 0 as well lol since its in a bedroom with blacked out curtains. The TV is solid the apps are solid and the fact that samsung is working on an adapter to constantly update the smart features is awesome. The only down side is that this is the start of a new erra. OLED is going to be the norm. Google it for more info but basically your going to get deeper blacks with it because your turning LEDs off not hiding them. For what its worth its an awesome low end smart TV with solid features, images, HDMI! hello-3 i think thats more than my 65" samsung has. Keeping it at 40 inches is a good small-med sized room TV, my recommendation is to get a 46" if you want it for a medium sized room and is you want a living room TV go 55". I regret my 65" purchase - to big. Streatches pixels and makes mediocre cable look terrible because you see every flaw. Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask another question I have no problem providing info/answers to any questions.

Samsung uses their own "Rating" for their TVs. This TV is a Samsung 120 CMR which translates roughly to 60Hz. I believe someone at Amazon saw 120 and assumed it was Hz not CMR

The Samsung that I purchased has the 120HZ refresh rate. I can take a picture of the box that it was shipped in if you like.

The refresh rate is 120 Hz. The "240 CMR" is part of an arbitrary measurement ("Clear Motion Rate") that Samsung applies to their current line of HDTVs.

HDMI 1.4 is 4K @ 30Hz (has 3 of them), HDMI 2.0 is 4K @ 60Hz (has one of them), but the 120Hz thing is the TV's refresh rate, not the input from the HDMI.

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.

Refresh rate at 120hz is how long it takes (in milliseconds) for the scene to pull up, action, and there is a difference. When two TV's (side by side) receive the same signal, the Toshiba responds faster than that of just a 60hz HDTV. I have two sets side by side (one for DVD recording and playback) so this is a television that will receive the signal and process it faster than the other. Proven to be the case.

Found this response from Samsung on the Samsung site:"I can understand your confusion on this matter. However, there are currently no transmittable signals that are sent at over 60Hz. If the TV has a 240Hz panel, then the image will be displayed at 240Hz. There are varying degrees of 240Hz that can be displayed (please check out the owners manual on page 19 for more information), but the unit will always display at 240Hz. The reason your TV is showing at 60Hz in the info box is because the info box shows the actual HZ of the signal.

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*....

Samsung UN46C6500 LED TV.............. Hey J. just received my 46 LED and the version number you said is SQ01 version, therefore, Amazon is selling the version made by Samsung. I was a bit concerned when you posted this sometime back and was wondering if I may have gotten the other versions. But that said Amazon is selling the SQ01 version, at least that is the one i received when i purchased.

Have had thw A750 for 1 month. Everything about it is great. Best picture I've ever seen. Halo Effect is negligable and the screen is not glossy enough to use as a mirror. I do have one question: When the TV come on, the screen says resolution of 1980 x 1080i @60hz. Why does it say 60 hz when the 120 hz is set to its highest?

It depends how one defines the refresh rate. My understanding is the refresh rate is technically 60 Hz, but Toshiba employs their "ClearScan" back lighting technology to raise the effective rate to 120 Hz. An explanation of how this works can be found on Toshiba's forum at http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Televisions-Knowledge-Base/TOSHIBA-ClearScan/ta-p/361268. I have the 32 inch and the 23 inch versions of this product and, in my opinion, the picture is great and handles fast-moving action, such as sports, very well.

Actually, I disagree. I've had this tv for about a year now and every channel/input displays 60Hz. I have yet to see 120 Hz displayed as the frequency. Perhaps its only displaying 60 but utilizing 120? Just my two cents, sir.

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

Actually, that's not correct. The person you spoke with at Samsung was either misinformed, or perhaps there was a misunderstanding between what you asked them, or what they said. This set is always doing 120 Hz processing. When you press the info button on the remote, what's shown is the frame rate of the SOURCE material. For regular TV, this will usually be 60Hz. 120 Hz only comes into play on this set with High Def imagery involving the original 24fps film recording used on many Blue Ray discs, or for 3-D imagery. For LCD TV's, the 120 Hz refresh rate is necessary to provide judder free (or at least closer to it...) images of high speed or action sequences, such as sports scenes, as they're notoriously poor at rendering these images cleanly. Due to the differences in technology, DLP doesn't generally suffer from this problem and it's not required.

It's 60hz. There is no LCD TV on the market that will display material from a 120hz input signal (e.g., some computer video cards). However, there are some LCDs that will take a 24/30/60hz signal and up-convert it to 120hz. Samsung's model is the LNT-5271F.

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.
