Concerned only 60Hz. What am I giving up not getting 120Hz? Not ready to purchase til I understand. Thoughts?

Higher framerate TVs (120Hz and above) are good for sports. They tend to "smooth" the action and make it a bit more life-like. For everything else, I personally find the look very ugly though. I completely disagree with the previous answer, I find movies and anything shot at 24 frames per second look cheap and video-like when they get smoothed to 120Hz. Even the biggest budget feature films look like they were shot by a student on a VHS camcorder when displayed at 120Hz, and I usually turn it off. To recap: Sports at 120Hz are enhanced but it's not critical by any means (if you're team is getting its butt kicked you won't care how many hertz it's happening at). Movies and other scripted content, ruined by 120Hz. Personally I find the whole trend to be a gimmick that's never worth the extra price.

The input feed is always 60Hz, and that's what it's telling you. 120Hz is the refresh rate internal to the TV, so your TV up-converts from the 60Hz internally.

If you have 120Hz, you shouldn't have a problem. Were you not able to watch in 1080p ? I don't know anything about changing refresh rates.

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?

Watching sports on this tv sucks for me. But that is just my opinion. I think that the 120HZ would be prolly be better.

TV and movies aren't recorded or displayed in anything higher than 60hz would cover. In my opinion, the 120hz is the way to go. Just google "240hz a gimmick" to see lots of info on the matter.

I'm not quite sure, but I've heard there have been many problems achieving 120Hz with and HDMI cable. If I were you, however, I'd get display port, it's basically the future. Regardless of that, this monitor is very, very, nice. It's responsive, it looks beautiful, and was rather easy to setup. Definitely worth the price.

You are exactly right. Information posted by many customers re: 120HZ on this set is often incorrect and oftentimes the manufacturers themselves do not make the specs clear (carefully read the 120hz info on the new LG Scarlet for a good example - the 120hz info is buried re: availability on different sizes). I would appreciate it if Amazon would correct this chart to help purchasers make more informed decisions and to maintain a higher standard than other websites. Thanks for your post -

I'm pretty sure that game mode is still 120hz. However there is a review that states the lag on the TV is less than 10ms.

US 60hz... wait maybe not. I will have to go home and check it out. I'll get back to you.

It seems that Amazon has changed it back to 120 Hz, now can someone tell me what the actual refresh rate is?

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 also have this TV. Take magic remote and move all the way to top of screen and it will inform you it is 60hz. I have wondered why. I also think this is the best tv out there. The colors and 3d,or 2d to 3d is awesome.

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.

Well, Mark I'm sitting here wondering the exact same thing. Is 120hz worth it? Matte or shiny? Why is the 4069 scarce in stores? Should I trust Eagle delivery? Should I pay hundreds more to just pick it up at a store? Why is the 4071 $200 more and 4" wider? Or maybe go $300 less with last year's 4065? Sorry I have more questions and no answers.
