Is the refresh rate 60 hz or 120 Hz because this is a deciding factor.

Unfortunately it's more like 60hz, but all in all the price is great and the image is perfectly clear. Hope it helps.

It is 120, however most of the time it is at 60- this just depends on the media that you are using. Bluray is 120, but most all ps3 games I've played, dvds and Netflix have all been at 60, sometimes it'll state 90.

Really the refresh rate is fine for viewing any program, DVD or Blu-Ray. If you are playing some sort of advanced video game you might wish it was 120 but I've never once thought it was inadequate for watching TV.

Another consideration in choosing whether or not to spend more for a 120 Hz set is that movies are rendered at 24 frames per second, which divides evenly into 120, but not 60, so this saves a step in mathematical interpolation, which, theoretically, helps produce a smoother picture.

I have the same issue - 60 and not 120 hz, but I do not do video games or watch sports much, so 60suffices me. However if you find out how to get 120, please let me know. --Rabbi Ed

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.

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

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

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

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.

You have to force it in your video card drivers. However, I wouldn't bank on hitting 120Hz. 90Hz might be a more realistic goal.

not sure, but my best guess is 60hz since windows tells me my options to change are from 60, 59, 50, 29, 23, 24, 25 Hz.

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

The 120Hz is simply the refresh rate of the TV. You are unable to turn it off as the tv will always refresh at that speed. The feature that may cause eye strain and which many people do not like is the Amp. It is merely an amplification of the picture that is performed at 120Hz by interpolating extra frames. It has the effect of making the picture look much more lifelike and fluid, which most people aren't used to at all. We are used to very low frame rates. The 120Hz is highly desirable if you are going to be watching any amount of movies on the screen because it allows for even temporal distribution of frames. At 60Hz, some frames will be displayed more times than other frames every second which causes a distortion of the picture, especially noticeable during pans or camera movements. At 120Hz, the frames are all displayed evenly across time.

this is from cnet"The big step-up feature for this series is a 120Hz refresh rate, which is said to cut down on the motion blur sometimes seen by sharp-eyed viewers in fast-moving scenes -- although in our tests of 60Hz LCDs, motion blur hasn't been an issue."

Unless your a real techie, the 120hz refresh is fine. I rate it a 9 out of 10! True the 240is definately an improovement but stil to pricey for me. The 120hz referh pic is great! Ocasionally you can see it too slow and wish you had the 240hz. However not enough to justify the cost.

Both are supported, however, in order to be able to use the 120hz refresh rate you have to use the DVI connection.
