When changing channels 1080i @60hz? I just purchased the LN-46B630 - it's a great looking tv even when off but I noticed that sometimes when I change channels i see a message that says 1080i @60hz??

Bumping...I don't know why, but I get this too and was wondering the very same thing.

I looked up this HDTV on Toshiba's website and they list it as being 60Hz. The 40L2400U is the 120Hz version of this tv.

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*....

I thought I had it narrowed down to the 4065 or 4069. Reading about the number of people turning the 120Hz feature off or down to Low is making me lean to the 4065. However, I am planning to get all my content either thru off-the-air channels. I have read a few folks say the SD signals displayed poorly on their LCD's. Would a plasma HD set fare better?

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet.

120hz standard, but 240hz enhanced. Excellent picture, I leave it at 120hz for most viewing; I have not found a need to switch to 240hz. Granted, I did check it out at 240 but find 120 is better for regular shows/movies. Haven't watched football yet... we'll see ;-)

Laurence,I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting.jm

I spoke with an LG rep online and here's what they had to say: "This unit model 42LN5400 is TruMotion 120 Hz. It isn't native 120 Hz. There is no audio visual device that outputs more than 60Hz on market, that's why TruMotion is video software on the TV that doubles frames. TruMotion is video processing software. TruMotion up-converts the input video by creating new frames to create smoother motion." No device on the market that outputs more than 60Hz?? Draw your own conclusions. I bought this tv but am thinking of returning it - unopened.

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 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.

is it possible that it IS hd but dimmed? when i got my satellite upgrade, i was horrified to see that the picture i was getting was about half the brightness of over the air broadcasts that looked absolutely beautiful. it took me a day or so to figure out that the tv comes from the factory defaulted to 'autoview' under 'picturemode' in the picture menu. put it on 'sports' or 'standard' to suit your taste. this tv is all about inputs, and i assume you have it set on 'antenna/cable'. if you do, i should think you'd be getting HD just fine. good luck. -dan

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?

The info of the channel may show that the broadcast is in 1080. However, this converter box downconverts the output signal to 480i. That was one of the requirements of the CECB program. I have a different model converter which also lists which definition a signal was broadcast in when I click on the info button. However, I KNOW the signal is downconverted as my 18-year old 27" tv can't possibly show a 720 or 1080 picture.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

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.
