I am not a specialist, but this should not be a problem.There basically is a big difference between the refresh rate of the TV and the framerate of the show.TV is usually broadcasting at 60hz (60 images per second), but your screen is refreshing (i.e. dispaying) 600 images per second. the TV will therefore display each images 10 times. There is therefore no impact for you.The only question I have is for blue ray played at 24p (24 images per second, which is the standard way of filming for movies): Will this receiver work with sources at 24p?

I have never seen this either of my plasma TVs, especially on the LG 60PN6500. Did you see this on display at a retailer? If so, some retailers will change settings to make the plasmas look worse as the margin is higher on LCD/LED sets. Hope this helps.

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.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

Mine is. I'm using it between my desktop and Onkyo receiver connected to the plasma for playing Call of Duty with no problems. It also sends the sound for in game surround. What didn't know was that it also seems intent connection through it.

Read this article: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/pn64h5000-201403143657.htm. It does the best job summing up the TV. Yes, when I am 2 feet from the TV you can see the honeycomb effect. I don't watch the TV at this distance. At 5' it noticeably less it and by 10' it is not noticeable at all. Admittedly it did bug me a little at first every time I would walk in front of the TV, but now I am fine with it. Movies have been awesome and I didn't have to shell out over $2k to get a 240Hz LCD of the same size. I didn't need a smart TV w/my Blu-ray player and have an Onkyo TX-NR818 in a 7.1 config for sound. I definitely prefer the plasma refresh rate with no ghosting with fast action on the screen.

I bought a similar Samsung and also thought I was getting a 60 hz picture but in fact, by default it uses the 120 hz. The 60 hz that is shown (I don't recall where that setting is shown) is misleading and does not represent the actual 120 hz that the TV uses by default. Nothing to turn on, you are getting 120 hz. Samsung should be more clear about this but I did track down the issue on their website.

It's a source issue..plasmas handle fast motion better than other types of TV. Many sources are poor though. Make sure your motion smoothing is turned off too.

You don't need drivers for this monitor, as soon as you connect it via HDMI it should be recognized. If you want it to run at a higher refresh rate that 60 Hz you have to create a custom driver using Powerstrip. You then create a custom resolution (1920X1080) and refresh rate (I suggest 72 Hz) and create the driver. Then go into advanced display settings/monitor in Windows. Click on Properties and go to the Driver tab, then you'll see update driver option. Select Browse your computer option and select the folder containing the custom driver. Save the driver in case you have to do it again in the future. This is how I got mine to run at 72 Hz and it works perfectly...

I purchased this item because I have an old SONY 35" tube TV. The coax coaction to the tuner broke, but the tube is still good. I took the coax line that was going into the TV and connected it to the RF IN of this device. I connected red/white audio jacks from this device's red/white AUDIO OUT into the TV's red/white AUDIO IN. I did the same with the yellow VIDEO jack connections. This works fine and I have never had a problem. Based on what how you describe your situation, I would speculate that this device will work for you as it does for me. Obviously I cannot be sure, but this device is still working just fine for me. The only difference is that you have plasma and I have a tube. Hope this helps.

Poof is dead-on correct. There is absolutely no merit to the claim that monster cables are necessary for 120Hz refresh rate. It's like claiming that 93 octane gas makes your windshield wipers work more efficiently - there's absolutely no connection. Anyone trying to sell you "mega monstrosity super-duper" cables is either deluded themselves, or trying to sell you a high profit margin product.

It's completely irrelevant honestly. Either one is significantly more than you need in a home theater setup. The refresh rate of your TV isn't relevant, the refresh rate of the signal is. The highest bandwidth intensity comes from 1080p/60 and that clocks in at just under 3 gbps, and uncompressed 7.1 audio could only add 36 mbps max. Even first generation HDMI cables had to be able to carry over 5 gbps, anything more isn't needed.

I'm actually going to order this after the new year.I called Sony and they werent much help with my question. I also asked Crutchfield and while they didnt have a definitive answer for me, they recommended that I run the video from my computer directly to my TV and the audio to the receiver. Worst case scenario, thats what I'll do. I'm glad I have a Logitech 880 remote.I tried looking for answers and I'm surprised that no one had questions about using this unit with a computer.As for the other receivers you mentioned, I think this has more value than either of those with the 4 HDMIs and 1080p upscale.

I have the previous generation of this monitor. Full Resolution through HDMI is not supported on these. Dell decided not to include it in the firmware for the monitor as they did not see many people using devices on HDMI that would go above 1080p. As all dells come with at least on Displayport. If you have an active HDMI to Display port converter it would work coming from your video card to the monitor (your hdmi becoming displayport) as the monitor would see it as displayport. However, this only works if your videocard supports the HDMI versions and cabling as listed in everyone elses answers. I've been VERY happy with my previous purchase and would consider purchasing this version as a 2nd. I have the previous generation of this monitor.

No plasma TV's have "120Hz Technology". It is not needed for Plasma, as they don't have the motion jerkiness problem the LCDs have. 120Hz is an LCD only technology. 120Hz is for LCD tv's because of the latent shutter speed to turn an LCD pixel on or off. This is actually the inverse of the frequency, or .0083 seconds; which is the switch time for the crystal (This is not to be confused with response time or fps; both of which are also different performance metrics). The crystals turn on and off to allow light to pass through or block it for dim/dark scenes; or to turn a color on or off. A pixel in a plasma TV is actually a tiny one-pixel "tube" TV. Tube TVs have never had a problem with action smear or latency. Plasma pixels have a near instantaneous on/off time, so implementation of 120Hz technology not only does not apply, it is not needed. The pixels have no latency; you'll never see a 8ms or 6ms response time attributed to plasma TVs, because the "pixels" go on and off as they are energized or de-energized; with no latency (At least not humanly perceptible).

According to Samsung tech support only the MHL port and ARC hdmi port supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and it has built in support for HEVC H.265 as well as a oneconnect port for future upgradeability which Samsung guarantees for 4 yrs. FYI other external 4K devices also need to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to view 4k, if not you get downgraded to 1080p. Oneconnect box not included. As of now you need to make sure when shopping for 4k whether it is a tv, receiver, or any other UHD/4k device that all of the hdmi ports support hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 or if not at least the ARC port supports it and/or there is an upgrade path. It also needs to support 4k at 24/30/60hz (60 right now is primarily being used by online streaming companies like netflix and amazon) and has HEVC H.265 supoort. Also while most people will tell you that current 10.2 gbps High speed hdmi cables will be good for everything meaning no need to upgrade be aware that current HDMI 10.2gbps high speed cables do not support 4k at 60hz also refered to as 60fps. They max out at 4k@24hz with some managing 4k@30hz. The hdmi.org has raised the the speed to 18gbps for the new hdmi spec. So i recommend getting HDMI cables that is rated at least 18 gbps and supports 4k@60Hz. Don't over pay. Monoprice is just starting to get the 18gbps cables now and others will be too. Keep in mind you only will need new cables just for devices that use 4k@30hz/fps and above which there none right now except for a $299 streaming device that is coming out soon. As of now 4K Blu-ray specs have not been finalized yet so it will be a while before we devices. Cable/sat devices also will take a long while to make the change. So most of your 4k content niw will come from the built in tv apos like netflix and 4k proprietary media players or hard drives with 4k contentent like the samsung one. This tech is really 1 to 2 years at the earliest from fully taking off.
