What is the refresh rate, 120Hz or 240Hz

John, while I don't own this particular model (I bought a different model for my son), in looking up the specs, it appears that this model has a 60Hz refresh rate.

THe 500 refreshes 120 HZ. The 400 refreshes at 60HZ. Salesman said that was the only difference.

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

I believe you're correct; Amazon has confused Samsung's CMR rate (240) with the refresh rate (120 Hz). This TV listed on every other site I've found is listed as 120 Hz. Also, on Amazon if you click through the size choices, all the other sizes of this model are listed as 120 Hz. Surprised more people haven't noticed/mentioned this.

60 hz, usually they make it a front page thing that the monitor is 120hz since its a selling factor.

Hz refers to the screen refresh rate. 120 hz means that the screen is "refreshed" 120 frames per second. 240 hz refreshes the screen at the rate of 240 frames per second. The purpose of the increased hz is to smooth out picture motion. The step up from the low-end refresh rate of 60 hz to 120 hz can often be noticeable, especially with fast-moving sports events. However, I can't tell any difference in going from 120 hz to 240 hz---I know that there is a difference; it's just that my old eyes can't tell the difference! Hope this helps.Charles

Refresh rate is 120hz (RR) the other is (CMR ) which is different..... there is a 60hz 120hz 240hz( RR) and 600hz for plasma....to get a 240hz( RR) you need at least a 720 or better ( CMR)

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.

I have the 60LA7400 with 240Hz and I have a 55" Samsung with 120Hz and I really cannot tell the difference. All Bluray players send a 60Hz signal and the TV's procesor uses the 240Hz to show you the best quality picture. Also do not be fooled by people that tell you that you need a 3D ready or 120 or 240Hz ready HDMI cable. All HDMI cables are the same except the ones that have Ethernet capabilites and there is not technology for that yet. A $10 HDMI cable from Amazon will show the same quality picture as the $200 one a salesman will want you to buy from yor local electronics store. The only diffence is the amount of shielding in the cable that the $200 has, so unless the cable is going from your Bluray around your washing machine then around your dishwasher to your TV your fine...HDMI is digital, either it works or it doesn't work.

60hz vrs. 120hz refreshment rate. If you play video game or watch movies with lots of action, the 120hz unit will perform better.

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

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,

if you are a heavy gamer then stick to the 240 hz. the 120 hz is good but not enough for a heavy gamer.

Kenneth the 720 X 480i is the current resolution that your TV is receiving. This unit is capable of 1920 X 1080i which is true HD. The 1080i refers to the resolution your TV is able to receive. The 240Hz refers to the refresh rate , most units are 60hz or 120Hz, so 240Hz is great. This helps keeps images from looking blurry when quick movement happens on the screen. I hope this was helpful.

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

If you mean what is the difference between 60hz and 120hz, it is a refresh rate(speed) that changes the blacks to whites and back again to provde for a smoother motion especially when watching sports. The higher the number the better. 240hz being the highest true refresh rate. If you see 600hz in a plasma it is not a true refresh rate number. It is 60 hz flashed 10 times a sec.
