Does this TV have a true panel refresh rate of 120Hz, or a fake "TruMotion" refresh rate of 120Hz which is actually a panel refresh rate of 60Hz?

According to the manual it is only 60 Hz vertical refresh rate. However, it is a very nice smart tv. The speakers are slightly better than most tv's these days. Unless you are a fickle videophile you will like the tv.

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

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.

It is 60hz. I can certainly understand your confusion. Please, read the rest of the responses for more info. SonyStyle was very disappointly and cleverly not very clear about this feature in this tv, which is unfortunate for a company of its stature.

Jedi Master: I have the same concern about one of my Samsung TVs. The screen reads 1920x1080i, 60Hz. I'm aware that in the US, all electricity is at 60Hz, so I wonder why Samsung would have made this spec so prominent on the display, when instead it could have put the refresh rate instead. Any ideas?

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.

I don't know what the panel is but the tv is 240Hz. It is the most clear picture I've ever seen.

A real advantage of a 120Hz and higher refresh rate is to properly display 24p movies. What is a good refresh rate? As said above, the Refresh Rate is mostly a marketing gimmick. While the 120Hz alone is not worth it, it usually come with a better panel, which could have a better response time and produce a better image.Panel refresh rate 60 Hz 120Hz 240Hz +Normal TV or Passive 3D Ok Good GoodWith Active Shutter 3D Invalid Ok Good

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

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.

Clear scan 120 Hz doubles the panel's 60 Hz refresh rate for clearer fast motion

How I understand it is that the 120hz refresh rate is an internal feature. The television signal you receive only comes into your TV at 60hz, but your television can internally smooth it out to 120hz. So, your display is only going to show what is coming into the tv, which is 720p, 60hz, 1080i, 60hz, etc.

No, its not! I got Samsung 60Hz(120 true motion rate) TV, put it next to LG 120Hz(LG doesn't show true motion rate anywhere, as a matter fact it wouldn't even say on a box or in the menu that is 120Hz!!!) and I was watching them next to each other for 3 days, even tried to change the setting ... and let me tell you-Samsung 60 Hz much better, sharper picture than LG 120Hz!!!

It's the AutoMotion technology. AutoMotion, regardless of how Samsung tries to sell it, is merely an effect and does not produce "true" 120Hz technology. It makes things look artificial. I always say it makes everything you watch look like a cheap soap-opera that was shot on video. Solution: turn off the AutoMotion permanently. And tweak your picture settings. Don't leave it on the factory Dynamic Mode setting. Seriously, this TV looks so much better when you customize your settings and turn off the AutoMotion.

The input feed is always 60Hz, and that's what it's telling you. 120Hz is the refresh rate internal to the TV, so your TV up-converts from the 60Hz internally.
