I just looked at mine. It is 60Hz. I am sooo loving my new Bella Programmable coffee pot! No more K-cups for me!

The refresh rate is actually (probably, hard to get a definitive answer) 120hz; Samsung uses a technology they call "clear motion" to provide what they consider the equivalent of a 240hz refresh rate. Some other manufacturers do likewise (using either the same or different technology) to claim a larger refresh rate; for example LG calls theirs "TruMotion". The technology is beyond me, but if you'd like more details do a search for "refresh rate", or ask (in a search engine) a question like "what is Clear Motion refresh rate". I know CNET.com does a fairly detailed explanation. Both they and Consumer Reports cautions on taking these claims at face value as in their reviews they say they commonly see some tv's w/lower claimed refresh rates having a better pic (less fast action blur) than other tv's w/higher claimed refresh rates. It sucks, but we're stuck with this goofy arrangement and at the mercy of the manufacturers claims.

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.

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

How I understand it is that the 120hz refresh rate is an internal feature. The television signal you receive only comes into your TV at 60hz, but your television can internally smooth it out to 120hz. So, your display is only going to show what is coming into the tv, which is 720p, 60hz, 1080i, 60hz, etc.

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.

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

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.

i have contacted amazon and panasonic they both said the refresh rate is 120hz. the 60 hz is the electrical supply it needs to be plugged in to.

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

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

120HZ will give you a faster refresh rate&gt; This means motion with looks smoother while playing games or watching sports. While watching anything else, there really isnt a noticeable difference.

Let me put it this way....Electricity in the USA is 60Hz. When you turn a light on, it actually has a flickering power. DO you see light bulbs flickering on and off? OF course not. The human eye see's 60Hz as "always on". So then what does 120Hz do? It may clear up video a little, but nothing more, and your results may vary. (Everyone's eyes are different). So enter 240 Hz. .... YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE FROM 120 TO 240hz. Period. It is so far beyond the human visual capacity its not funny. So 240 Hz is a MARKETING GIMMIC to charge you more.
