Actually, that's not correct. The person you spoke with at Samsung was either misinformed, or perhaps there was a misunderstanding between what you asked them, or what they said. This set is always doing 120 Hz processing. When you press the info button on the remote, what's shown is the frame rate of the SOURCE material. For regular TV, this will usually be 60Hz. 120 Hz only comes into play on this set with High Def imagery involving the original 24fps film recording used on many Blue Ray discs, or for 3-D imagery. For LCD TV's, the 120 Hz refresh rate is necessary to provide judder free (or at least closer to it...) images of high speed or action sequences, such as sports scenes, as they're notoriously poor at rendering these images cleanly. Due to the differences in technology, DLP doesn't generally suffer from this problem and it's not required. For more information on this, visit the following web forum: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1029686 , or conduct your own research.

That depends... If you are playing something at 1080p 30hz the U-Vision adapter will upscale it to 2160p (4k) 30hz. If you are playing something that is over 30hz you will get an output of 1080p at the same refresh rate as whatever you are playing whether it's 60hz or 120hz. But the converter will give you expanded color depth and some better details. I'm assuming you are using hz and fps interchangeably for the answer above. If not, see below... The screen of the TV itself will always refresh at 120hz no matter the input, what you are limited by is the image processor and hdmi cables bandwidth. If you are displaying something that is 30 frames per second on a TV that refreshes at 120hz each frame of video will be displayed for 4 of the TV frames. If you are watching something that is 60 fps it will show up for 2 of the TV frames. The only way to send a true 120fps signal to a TV is to do so from a computer as far as I know. Tvs that have motion smoothing will interpolate (make up) a frame that is partway between the actual frames that the video source is putting out so that the motion appears smoother. This TV (depending on what firmware you have) does do this. The only downside is that you ha e to access the manufacturer service menu to enable or disable it.

I was wondering the same thing, It has HDMI 1.4 which would support 1080p with 120hz so that threw me off.

Refresh rate at 120hz is how long it takes (in milliseconds) for the scene to pull up, action, and there is a difference. When two TV's (side by side) receive the same signal, the Toshiba responds faster than that of just a 60hz HDTV. I have two sets side by side (one for DVD recording and playback) so this is a television that will receive the signal and process it faster than the other. Proven to be the case.

I bought this tv last week and picked up an HDMI cable as well. For some reason I can't get the TV to show videos at 120hz. Does anyone know if the HDMI cable influences that or how to switch it on the TV?

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

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

The TV will display only using the refresh rate it gets from the equipment. For example, when we hook the TV up to my computer through HDMI port 2, we are able to set the refresh rate on the computer to 120, and the TV senses that and displays at that rate. When it is connected to my Playstation, the best it gets is 1080p 60hz (and then GTA is programmed to 720p 60hz), so that's what is indicated on the TV display. If the signal the TV is getting is only 60hz, it doesn't double the refresh rate, it can only display what it is being given.

It better have the 240HZ refresh rate! That is my understanding. When this question was posted I looked at the specs from other sights including cnet which confirmed that it was 240HZ. This is supposed to be Samsung's top of the line model.

Good question. One thing you might want to consider is what I just found out yesterday... a salesman showed me what happens when you watch a standard def. digital broadcast on a top-of-the-line Sony LCD with 120hz compared with the Samsung 40A650. Wow, what a difference! Nobody ever mentions what standard def. looks like on these 1080p LCD sets. The Sony was terrible, the Samsung was fine. It's the pixelation of edges during movement problem. I guess the 120hz motion control only works in HD mode on most sets (that's what the saleman said), while Samsung's works in standard mode, too. So, go to a store that will show you what the picture looks like on the 46A550 in standard def mode. I would also want to compare the contrast ratio between the 2 sets, as the 40A650's is pretty hard to beat.

"Who Dat" is correct in his statement on 2-23-13 that this is a 120hz with the 240hz clear/full motion plus. We were fooled by the Samsung advertising on the same TV which stated 120hz clear/full motion on the box. It was only 60hz. We don't use the 240hz "plus" function. We don't see the benefit.

I just purchased a Samsung UN40H5203 - a 60hz refresh. I am enjoying the rich color, but I find that for sports - football and basketball so far - the 60hz can't refresh fast enough to eliminate what seems to be a pixelation where movement is fastest. Otherwise, not issue. Perhaps if I were looking for a TV with a screen as big as the Berlin Wall I'd want the 120hz, but when I bought I saw a $200 difference between otherwise similar Samsung sets. Not worth the difference.

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.

Depends on 2 factors: The graphics card you have (like GTX 700, 800 series or Radeon R9 series) are capable of 4k @ 30hz. However, LG is hiding the refresh rate @ 4k. 120hz is the refresh rate that will go down to ??? when you have it at 4k. Likely it's 30hz anyway, so you should be ok. Btw, HDMI 2.0 is needed for 4k @ 60hz and there's no video card out today with HDMI 2.0 out.

The manual says 4k @ 60Hz, supported by the HDMI 3 port only. Page 24 of the user's manual. So, it does 4K @ 60Hz as long as you're using the HDMI 3 input. The others will do 4k at a lower refresh rate. HDMI 4 says it will do 4k @ 60Hz with a mobile device if the mobile device supports MHL (Mobile High-definition Link).

I'd like to ask you a question about the 24p content. I produce videos in 24p, and although I'm very creative, I'm not a tech guru. Thus, I've been trying to witness the difference between TV's out there that claim to have good 24p playback capabilities, as we produce several things at that frame rate. Have you seen them side by side? Does the lower Hz level really make a big difference? I've seen the 8000 in action, but never checked the Hz level and didn't compare it to the 7000. Thanks in advance for your help.
