60HZ, 120HZ, 240Hz: Anyone else have this problem and can offer me any solutions?

Hi G.Thomas, Please take a look at this link: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/lcd-tv/LN52B630N1FXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=forum and click on question "my set says 60hz in upper left hand corner i though the set was a 120hz is there some way to do it? thank you " As the guy explains: A: That's a great question. The processor on the Samsung 120Hz/240Hz units will always display at their respective Hz. Even when the signal is only being transmitted at 60Hz, it will always display at 120Hz/240Hz since the processor is always upconverting the signal. Activating the Auto Motion Plus feature will allow for judder reduction and blurring reduction, depending on what settings you activate. This will enhance your 120Hz/240Hz viewing. The reason you are seeing the 60Hz in the info box is because the info box only displays the signal's actual Hz and screen resolution and not the info of the picture on the screen after the TV processes it. Meaning that the 60Hz you are seeing is the signals actual Hz and not the screen's Hz. Currently there is no way to display the screen's Hz in the info box. -MrSamsung So as long as you have automotion turned on you are getting the full capability of the tv. It does not have anything to do with what signal you are getting from dish.

No. Sounds like a problem with your video card or HDMI cable. First try using a "high speed" shielded HDMI cable, like the original that came with the monitor.

I'm sorry, but 120Hz looks like poop. It gives movies and TV a weird shimmer about it. I'm well aware of why this occurs and what is happening within the TV, but this is not something I need to just "get used to". I want my movie to look like it did when I saw it in the theaters (obviously scaled down a tad, but that's a different topic), but 120Hz give all the fast movement in the picture an unnatural feel, and looks nothing like the original. I may be alone in my stance, but 120Hz just doesn't sit right with me or my eyes, and it never will.

You need to set your TV's setting advance resolution to off. Then you should be able to turn 240hz on.

You can also check to make sure VSync is turned off, as that will limit FPS to the refresh rate of the screen which is 60hz.

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.

The tv is 120hz in 3D mode, but no tv has support for 240hz in 3d mode yet. everything else can be set to 240hz, games, movies, etc

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

It may be the monitor you have plugged in :) mine caps out at 1680 x 1050 ///// try plugging it into a hdmi tv :)

The TV does NOT support over 60 Hz! I've tried many methods to get the TV to display more than 60 Hz using my high-end gaming PC, but nothing has worked. I've talked with two Samsung customer support representatives and both have confirmed that this TV only supports up to a 60 Hz refresh rate! I specifically bought this TV for the 120 Hz refresh rate and now, a little more than a year later, I've just discovered that this product title and description are FALSE ADVERTISING.

The problem is not the 120HZ refresh, but with the AMP turned on.AMP is the cause of so called "Soap Opera Effect".Moxcey, go into your Samsung TV menu, and scroll down to Picture Settings. Turn AMP to Low, or Off, and you'll see a huge difference.Enjoy.

The Samsung that I purchased has the 120HZ refresh rate. I can take a picture of the box that it was shipped in if you like.

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)

Actually, I disagree. I've had this tv for about a year now and every channel/input displays 60Hz. I have yet to see 120 Hz displayed as the frequency. Perhaps its only displaying 60 but utilizing 120? Just my two cents, sir.

No. I have work with it for long hours. Check the settings and make sure it is not set for 60 hertz. Try a higher setting such as 120 hertz. It could be flickering. Otherwise, call for tech support.

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 look at your game when you play, it is running at 60hz only. I think it has to do with the PS3 output capabilities.
