What is the refresh rate, 120Hz or 240Hz

John, while I don't own this particular model (I bought a different model for my son), in looking up the specs, it appears that this model has a 60Hz refresh rate.

I looked up this HDTV on Toshiba's website and they list it as being 60Hz. The 40L2400U is the 120Hz version of this tv.

Refresh rate is 120hz (RR) the other is (CMR ) which is different..... there is a 60hz 120hz 240hz( RR) and 600hz for plasma....to get a 240hz( RR) you need at least a 720 or better ( CMR)

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 60 HZ is the AC outlets in your house,everything you plug into your wall is 60 HZ and 120 volts.the refresh rate on the TV is 240

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

THe 500 refreshes 120 HZ. The 400 refreshes at 60HZ. Salesman said that was the only difference.

The panel refreshes at 120hz you can't turn it on/off. When you see "60hz" on the screen it's because that's what the source is, so far there are no 120hz sources.

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.

You are very misinformed Watcher. 120hz refers to the panel refresh rate and whether you are watching 30fps video or 24fps movies it still relies on the 120hz refresh rate to display images. As JVAN has shared with us, Plasma TVs don't rely on that technology, it's an LCD thing.

60 or 120hz will depend on your source, PS3 only does 60 if I remember correctly.

Unless your a real techie, the 120hz refresh is fine. I rate it a 9 out of 10! True the 240is definately an improovement but stil to pricey for me. The 120hz referh pic is great! Ocasionally you can see it too slow and wish you had the 240hz. However not enough to justify the cost.

120 hz creates smoother motion, especially in action, sports, or other fast moving images. 60hz shows 60 frames a second while 120hz shows up to 120 frames per second. Though the footage you watch may be 24 or 30 frames a second, having a display that can show 120 frames per second looks smoother on playback because it tweens the frames, blending from one image to the next and making motion appear smoother.

To answer your first question, if you read closely on their site the 120 rate is referred to as the "Clear Motion Rate". This is not the refresh rate you're referring to. The software in the tv modifies the picture (not sure of the technical details) and simulates a 120 rate. This is my understanding - I read an article on CNET that described this in more detail. Hope that helps some...

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