refresh rate on LNT5265F 52: does any one know if this is 60 or 120 hz?

It's 60hz. There is no LCD TV on the market that will display material from a 120hz input signal (e.g., some computer video cards). However, there are some LCDs that will take a 24/30/60hz signal and up-convert it to 120hz. Samsung's model is the LNT-5271F.

It may be listed as 60Hz but I'm quite sure it is 120Hz because it has the sopa opera effect (that only occurs in sets with 120Hz or higher)

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.

Check the article in PC Mag about refresh rates 240 vs 120. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp

60 or 120hz will depend on your source, PS3 only does 60 if I remember correctly.

I called LG's tech support twice and both times they said that this TV IS native 120Hz. The link above to the LG FAQ page is NOT answered by a staff member, instead its from a regular "contributor".

I would think that it's 60hz because of the super low response time. Most of your new HDTV's have at least a 120 and in some cases 240hz refresh rate which is what makes their response times anywhere from 10-18 ms. Doesn't seem like a lot until you play on a BENQ which has a 1 ms response time.

Samsung uses their own "Rating" for their TVs. This TV is a Samsung 120 CMR which translates roughly to 60Hz. I believe someone at Amazon saw 120 and assumed it was Hz not CMR

What the heck I purchased because one of my criteria was that it have a 120Hz. If it is 60 then that is totally false advertisement n I will investigate. I have always had superb experience w amazon so this is a concern.

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.

Amazon is wrong. Other sites has this @ 60. If you do a search on the LCD it will say 60Hz

I purchased this TV specifically based on Amazon's description that indicated 120 hz. I've run into the same conflicting information that you found and unfortunately (especially for me), it appears that the refresh rate is in fact 6ohz. I spent several days trying to find the 120hz switch in all of the settings and couldn't find it. Finally, I checked in the manual and it says the XBR series of Sony TVs doesn't come with Motionflow (their name for 120hz). I'm still hanging on to the tiniest bit of hope that I'm wrong but I don't think so. If you've seen a 1080p tv play a blueray or hd material with the 120hz on, then you'll know why I'm bummed. It's a truly amazing effect. It doesn't look 3d, but almost like you're watching a play. It's not an effect that would appeal to everyone, but I've seen movies like Spiderman 3, terminator 2 and Pirates of the Carribean and I was blown away. My one bit of hope (and confusion) come from the fact that the previous model (KDL 32XBR4) is described on the Sony website as having Motionflow/120hz but that model was only 720p. I haven't seen what that type of combination looks like, but I'm curious if it still provides the same effect that I've seen on the 1080p models. I spoke to both Circuit City and Best buy reps and both said that there aren't ANY 32" and smaller TVs with 120hz. The smallest it is offered on is 40". Not sure if this helped any but my last bit of research is calling Sony directly and asking them. I'll write back and keep you posted.

Excellent question! My invoice (purchased late Jan.) also states 120Hz, but I just looked on the back of my set and it clearly indicates 60Hz. Interesting.

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.

All LG models are 60Hz Native refresh rate. Then different models have software that simulate higher refresh rate (120, 240, but it is nor real). Spurce: LG website

No, it's Native 60Hz. From LG's FAQ page: "The 47LB6300 HDTV does not have the Trumotion feature. That is a feature that is featured in all the LG HDTVs with a 120Hz refresh rate and since the 47LB6300 is not a 120Hz refresh rate and is a 60Hz refresh rate, it does not have the feature..." http://answers.lg.com/answers/7676/product/MD05098569/lg-electronics-47lb6300-questions-answers/questions.htm
