does this set allow you to control the refresh rate (i.e. step down from 240Hz for watching 2D movies)

Yes, the TV's Motion Picture Setting on the second page of the TV's Picture menu allows you the ability to select Off, Weak, Medium, and Strong.

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's a monitor not a HDTV. There is no refresh rate. Response time is 5ms(GTG), which is somewhat equal to 240HZ refresh rate.

You are probably looking at the 60Hz on the AC power supply. All US AC electrical current operates at 60Hz. The 240Hz refers to tthe screen refresh rate,

Not an expert, but I believe the refresh rate was increased to 120HZ to get better resolution to the screen. If you go to 3D, from what I see, is engineered to 240HZ, and show even better resolution. So, I think it's something that's engineered into TVs, and is reflected by the various pricing.

You have to force it in your video card drivers. However, I wouldn't bank on hitting 120Hz. 90Hz might be a more realistic goal.

Yes - the MS612ST will auto-sense input signals at 16:9 or 16:10 widescreen aspect ratios and display them fully, and also has the menu option for manual selection of these widescreen ratios

Andrew, I don't game on this TV and the screen refresh rate is only 60Hz not 120Hz so maybe not.

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.

24p is possible on 60hz LCD's but note that 60 is not a multiple of 24, but 120hz is a multiple. So when 24p is being pulled down, it will not be pulled exactly 5 times per frame but some weird combination like : 1st frame 2x, second frame 3x, 3rd frame 2x and so forth. Not that you will ever notice. Anyway, that is what I saw somewhere.

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.

TV and movies aren't recorded or displayed in anything higher than 60hz would cover. In my opinion, the 120hz is the way to go. Just google "240hz a gimmick" to see lots of info on the matter.

make sure you set the refresh rate to 144 through whatever control panel you have for graphics (Nvidia or AMD) If you don't have drivers, then get them

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.

Refresh rate isn't as important as it was a few years back. Look at the motion rate, This set has a CMR of 1440, that is the highest CMR of any set to date.

Double check your settings on the monitor. Mine didn't come with DisplayPort 1.2 enabled by default. You may be getting a 30 Hz refresh rate. Similarly, if you're using HDMI and not DisplayPort, you'll be stuck on 30 Hz not 60 Hz. I just turned mine way down and didn't notice any flicker.
