I have read almost every review, half say its 60Hz and the other half say its 120Hz. Can anyone tell me if this is a true 120Hz tv?

It is 120 and I am 100% sure. This might be one of the most over rated stats though. You may not be a video game player but Xbox one and PS4 both play games at 60 even sometimes 30. This TV does not let you manipulate the rate and some TVs do. You will read about TVs having a soap opera effect and this TV does on some programming. Higher the rate the more likely it is. That being said I love the TV.

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 120, however some techies say that in some cases it plays as a 60. This means nothing, it's a great TV

No. Plug it into a computer and the monitor will only function at 60hz. If it were a 120hz device, it would actually run at 120hz.

That's a good question. I didn't realize it until i saw it myself this evening. But yeah it's only 60Hz. I'm disappointed in this.

i can't speak for the 46", as my TV is the 22"...that being said, you are correct, my set actually has a 60hz refresh, not the 120 that is hinted at in the "marketing" material...this is technical malarkey for "sort-of"...well it's not...for a little set in the kitchen where we use ours no big deal at all...we watch all sorts of stuff on it, including Blu-Ray movies...for a "main" set where you are watching a lot of "action-stuff" like sports this would be a consideration...blurring as an example...Samsung makes a great product, however my personal recommendation for something that large i.e., would be a Sony...they do cost more, and the picture is worth it...and the re-fresh will more likely be an actual 240hz or better depending on the model...good-luck...jo'c

I am still trying to remember why I had to have a 120 Hz TV (52LNA850). I don't watch sports more than once a month, at most. If you're like me, you can buy a 550 television and save a great deal of money over a 650-or-higher model.

No clue. I bought the 46" version and it is 60Hz only. The 55" apparently is 120Hz, at least according to the specs. I doubt the refresh rate is selectable

I had tried this TV but the 120hz wasn't fast enough for me. I returned it and purchased the 240hz model 7100. It's more expensive, but the picture looks much better. I'm very happy with it. It will give you the effect you mentioned.

There is no soap opera effect with this TV. This TV is apparently a 60HZ panel that LG is trying to claim "Trumotion 120HZ." Apparently LG started these shenanigans with some of its 2012 models. HDGURU wrote an interesting article on its website about this called "When 120HZ is not really 120HZ." There are also no menu options for changing the "Trumotion" settings on this TV, LG claims 120 HZ is "always on." Even though this TV is likely not 120HZ it still looks amazing and 3D is spectacular. This set is definitely a great value and most won't be disappointed unless of course you prefer the "soap opera" effect.

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz
1820957
It is 60 hz but many Samsungs including this one have a internal upgrade making the TV have 120 HZ ability.

Considering they keep uping the Hz we may always be chasing the speed. The HDTV's from just last year were 60Hz. The higher end one's were 120Hz and now we are at 240Hz. I am going for the size. I hope I am making the right choice.

No the tv is 60hz and only operares at 1080i.that's false advertizement and they wouldn't let me return it. Please don't purchase it!

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.

It really depends. Nowadays, there are TV manufacturers which releases 120Hz TV. Means that the refresh rate is double compared to the 60Hz. The real difference or he most noticeable between the two is when watching fast action like sports or car racing on HD. Watching non-HD broadcast, under 60Hz images are just the same with 120Hz. Bottomline depending on your eyes/brain that can handle images that will look much better, maybe worse or basically no difference at all. Hope this helps. -Ely

To answer your first question, if you read closely on their site the 120 rate is referred to as the "Clear Motion Rate". This is not the refresh rate you're referring to. The software in the tv modifies the picture (not sure of the technical details) and simulates a 120 rate. This is my understanding - I read an article on CNET that described this in more detail. Hope that helps some...

Hello, folks? This is an important question!Do you really not agree on the answer? As of 8/2/14, Amazon's ad STILL says this 47LB6300 47" TV by LG Electronics has a native "120hz refresh rate." So what is it, please???

That is seen with TV's with at least 120Hz refresh rate, this is only 60Hz, so no. Some people don't like it, I actually like it very much, it gives a more realistic look

I'm sorry, but 120Hz looks like poop. It gives movies and TV a weird shimmer about it. I'm well aware of why this occurs and what is happening within the TV, but this is not something I need to just "get used to". I want my movie to look like it did when I saw it in the theaters (obviously scaled down a tad, but that's a different topic), but 120Hz give all the fast movement in the picture an unnatural feel, and looks nothing like the original. I may be alone in my stance, but 120Hz just doesn't sit right with me or my eyes, and it never will.
