what is the difference between 60hz and 120hz

Frankly I can't tell the difference. I questioned others and was told that in a fast action game the picture is smoother with 120hz. Well I watched the same game with two TV's side by side one 60hz and 120hz. I couldn't see the difference. Perhaps an video expert could see it, but I couldn't.

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz

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

Everyone will have varying opinions on this. Personally I'd go for the 120hz. The best advice is to go view each of these TVs and go with the one you like best.

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.

60 or 120hz will depend on your source, PS3 only does 60 if I remember correctly.

I've read that most boxes / blu players are only capable of transferring data at 60hz, and the 120hz refers to the TV's ability to lace together frames. Therefore, it would be the "automotion" setting that makes it a 120hz frame rate. Not sure if I'm right, but hope this helps.

It is 60 hz but many Samsungs including this one have a internal upgrade making the TV have 120 HZ ability.

120Hz, based on the independent assessment here: http://www.rtings.com/info/fake-refresh-rates-samsung-clear-motion-rate-vs-sony-motionflow-vs-lg-trumotion

What the heck I purchased because one of my criteria was that it have a 120Hz. If it is 60 then that is totally false advertisement n I will investigate. I have always had superb experience w amazon so this is a concern.

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.

120 hz creates smoother motion, especially in action, sports, or other fast moving images. 60hz shows 60 frames a second while 120hz shows up to 120 frames per second. Though the footage you watch may be 24 or 30 frames a second, having a display that can show 120 frames per second looks smoother on playback because it tweens the frames, blending from one image to the next and making motion appear smoother.

That's a good question. I didn't realize it until i saw it myself this evening. But yeah it's only 60Hz. I'm disappointed in this.

"The only significant difference between the 120hz or 240hz systems will be in presenting 3D content. If you think you are going to be interested in viewing 3D movies and TV shows, then you should get a 240hz system. Why? Because 3D works by showing each of your eyes only half the image on the screen - this is what makes the image three dimensional and why you have to wear special glasses. Because of this halving, your 120hz TV is really only showing 60hz to each eye (and 24fps does not go into 60hz very well). If you have a 240hz TV, each eye gets 120hz and you'll be able to watch both 24 and 30fps shows without any image manipulation."http://www.tekspree.com/what-are-tv-hertz-and-why-are-they-important/ "The only significant difference between the 120hz or 240hz systems will be in presenting 3D content.

This unit goes either way . its 50/60hz. good luck. one the best I ever purchased for the price compared to high end ones.

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

Excellent question! My invoice (purchased late Jan.) also states 120Hz, but I just looked on the back of my set and it clearly indicates 60Hz. Interesting.
