With respect to the Samsung 4k Ultra HD sets .....I always thought higher refresh rates were better ie, 240 versus 120. Why only 120 on new samsung?

All source rates are 60 or lower. Blu-rays and such are higher with dvd, hd cable, etc being lower. When a set has a higher refresh it has to interpolate or make up info based on an algorithm. This interpolation can make the film/video motion cartoon like. This is also known as refresh dance, when the motion speeds up and slows down. This is very slight and most people cannot see it. In a nutshell it is best not to stray too far from the source refresh. If needed I can go into more detail. I hope this helps.

The refresh rate of 120 hz is for the benefit of this TV's 3D function. Otherwise, according to this article, higher refresh rates don't make sense.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp update: I found this Samsung article on their Clear Motion function. http://www.samsung.com/us/article/clear-motion-rate-a-new-standard-for-motion-clarity

Depends on 2 factors: The graphics card you have (like GTX 700, 800 series or Radeon R9 series) are capable of 4k @ 30hz. However, LG is hiding the refresh rate @ 4k. 120hz is the refresh rate that will go down to ??? when you have it at 4k. Likely it's 30hz anyway, so you should be ok. Btw, HDMI 2.0 is needed for 4k @ 60hz and there's no video card out today with HDMI 2.0 out.

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.

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*....

120 basically doubles the refresh rate of the images. That is very good especially if you like sports. .. I had a Sony that I returned because it said it was 1080 pixels but it was really only 720... don't you hate being lied to? I do...

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.

I purchased a samusung 40 led tv. It is a 120 hz according to the box it came in. Also according to samsung customer service reps. But yet on the back of the tv where there is the UL label it says the tv is 60 hz. Noone at samsung seems to know why. I spoke to many of their reps and duh they have no idea why. Does anyone know why there is this difference?

If you are referring to the refresh rate, this set is above average at 240hz. I looked at it a brick & mortar retailer before buying on Amazon

Considering they keep uping the Hz we may always be chasing the speed. The HDTV's from just last year were 60Hz. The higher end one's were 120Hz and now we are at 240Hz. I am going for the size. I hope I am making the right choice.

I don't watch many 3D items, but it is ok. It takes a bit of adjusting for each 3D movie. In either 3D, or 2D, the higher the Hz, the better the action scenes will look. The 240 Hz is less blurry than 120 Hz, which is less blurry than 60Hz. If you are going to watch a lot of fast action sports, action movies, etc, get the highest Hz you can afford. The 600 Hz refresh rate of a Plasma screened TV will be even better. I watch few sports, or action movies, so I didn't need more than 60Hz for my viewing. I watch mostly murder mysteries, and the like, with little fast action. Some of the more cartoon-y 3D stuff is faster paced, and is not as good in 60 Hz as it would be in 120 Hz, or 240 Hz, or 600 Hz. I watch mostly 2D stuff, but have the 3D capability for when I want it. The price I paid for my Sceptre HDTV was very reasonable, and the set has been functioning very well so far. For fast action movies, get as many Hz as you can afford. Sceptre offered some slightly more expensive models with 120 Hz,and 240 Hz, but I don't watch enough fast action stuff to make it worth my buying such for my typical use. You may be different. If you tend to watch sports, movies like Rambo, Die Hard, etc, you should have higher than 60 Hz...the higher the better.

Dear Lance,The UN65H8000 has 1080p upscaling but not 4K upscaling. 4K is higher resolution.Eric C

My husband did all of the research on this TV. He spoke with the guys at Best Buy, and they referred him directly to Samsung. Samsung explained that with the technology they have in this TV the refresh rate is so crisp and quick that the difference is unnoticeable. We viewed this TV at Best Buy compared to all of the other TV's on the wall and the picture is amazing. The best we had ever seen. We tried to buy it a Best Buy but they stopped selling them because a newer model was on it's way in. That is why we purchased the TV from Amazon. My husband is also a big gamer and the TV has setting for that vs. watching TV and movies. It's the best TV we have seen and we did a lot of shopping before be bought it.

120HZ will give you a faster refresh rate&gt; This means motion with looks smoother while playing games or watching sports. While watching anything else, there really isnt a noticeable difference.

The TV does NOT support over 60 Hz! I've tried many methods to get the TV to display more than 60 Hz using my high-end gaming PC, but nothing has worked. I've talked with two Samsung customer support representatives and both have confirmed that this TV only supports up to a 60 Hz refresh rate! I specifically bought this TV for the 120 Hz refresh rate and now, a little more than a year later, I've just discovered that this product title and description are FALSE ADVERTISING.

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.

This TV has a 60Hz refresh rate. I compared this Samsung LN32B550 with the LG model you mention and I found both are good. However, the colors were more vibrant in the Samsung and there was a 'pop' in the colors. The LG was a little more subdued and not as vivid. Also, I don't recall if the LG swivels or not like the Samsung. If you need more dynamic colors, a punch in the Picture quality, go with the samsung. For me, the 120Hz did nothing to convince me its better than the 60Hz. I really could not tell any difference. People swear there is one, but I cannot tell. They had a demo signal going to all TV's with the 120Hz benefits and you cannot even tell any difference there. Theoretically, the 120Hz should be more cleaner/sharper in fast moving images. But fast moving images are well....fast so you only see them for split seconds. Not much of a difference then since how much can you absorb in that split second ? Video gaming should benefit but again, I don't see any significant improvement here. The 2ms response time is useful for video gaming as it will eliminate ghosting ( i.e. trailing images ) but Samsung's 6ms is good enough. Ideally, anything less than 15-20ms and you're good for video gaming from my experience with LCD refresh rates. Go to your local Best Buy and check it out first. Buy from Amazon if the price is lower, else buy from BestBuy with warranty and all. As is, BB now has no restocking fee when you return a product.

NO! 120Hz is a marketing gimmick! Don't fall for it because no one watches movies like that! That fps is meant for recorded video, NOT MOVIES! Put it this way, do movies in theatres appear 120FPS? No. All movies are displayed in 24FPS as they were meant to be. This TV will put ANY other HDTV to shame!!!EDIT: Okay, okay... I'll just add that I THINK 120Hz is a "gimmick". Others find it very useful and engaging.
