Yes basically, it was advertised being 120hz, but when i got it, its only a software upgrade that makes them able to say it's 120hz, but on the screen it says 60hz even in cinema mode

Ramneek, This is a 120 Hz 'refresh' rate set. It is stated in 'Product Description' paragraph. The 60Hz you saw was for the power source as would be the case for all products sold for U.S. use.

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.

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.

The label on the unit says 50Hz. I would email the manufacturer to make sure.

60 hz, usually they make it a front page thing that the monitor is 120hz since its a selling factor.

The label on mine says 120VAC 60Hz only. Maybe another model is set up for 240VAC 50Hz.

It is 60 hz but many Samsungs including this one have a internal upgrade making the TV have 120 HZ ability.

It's 120, however some techies say that in some cases it plays as a 60. This means nothing, it's a great TV

Howdy Aldenora; I looked at the backs of mine, and they specifically say 120v AC @ 60hz.

I bought a similar Samsung and also thought I was getting a 60 hz picture but in fact, by default it uses the 120 hz. The 60 hz that is shown (I don't recall where that setting is shown) is misleading and does not represent the actual 120 hz that the TV uses by default. Nothing to turn on, you are getting 120 hz. Samsung should be more clear about this but I did track down the issue on their website.

It really depends. Nowadays, there are TV manufacturers which releases 120Hz TV. Means that the refresh rate is double compared to the 60Hz. The real difference or he most noticeable between the two is when watching fast action like sports or car racing on HD. Watching non-HD broadcast, under 60Hz images are just the same with 120Hz. Bottomline depending on your eyes/brain that can handle images that will look much better, maybe worse or basically no difference at all. Hope this helps. -Ely

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.

I believe it is 60 hz, you may want to confirm with someone else although I am pretty sure

Kmart also lists this at 120Hz, while TigerDirect shows it at 60Hz. Early deal sights point to TigerDirect and advertise it as 120Hz. I saw a blog which advertised it as 120Hz. This is all over the board. The manual is probably the most correct however.

I called LG's tech support twice and both times they said that this TV IS native 120Hz. The link above to the LG FAQ page is NOT answered by a staff member, instead its from a regular "contributor".
