Hi Jason, I actually just spent two hours on hold waiting for Sony to get to the bottom of the 24p/120hz issue for me, and this TV indeed runs at 60hz, which means it really is not True 24p, because the frame duplication is not equal for every frame, as it would be for 120hz (i.e. each of the 24 frames per second would be replicated five times per second as the TV refreshes 120 times in that second....24x5 = 120). This model is 60hz, so the frames replicate at something like 2:3:3:3:2 and so on (not quite sure how correct that is). I am actually very dissatisfied with this, because the whole reason I upgraded to this TV and Blu Ray was to have ACTUAL True 24p. With the Sony 32 and 37 inch models, they are falsely advertising completely...But most people would never notice a difference. 24p from Blu Ray still looks incredible on this TV, but there ARE times where something just doesn't QUITE look right...and I do notice it. I would have saved up a few extra hundred dollars for the larger, 120hz TVs had I known the technicalities of this back then....

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

your tv is always displaying 120hz, what you see on the screen is what he input frame rate is so your tv is taking 60 hz and converting it to 120.

Under the advanced settings on my computer, the refresh rate is set to 60Hz, which is also the only option. I'm running an ASUS GTX670, so I'm guessing that it knows best. Aside from that, I couldn't really tell you. This is with ASUS' video card driver v. 9.18.13.37888 (5/19/14) and the Microsoft driver for Generic PnP driver v. 6.3.9600.16384. I don't know that ASUS has a proprietary driver for the VS229H-P, and Microsoft isn't that great with actually checking for other companies' drivers at this basic of a level -- I just haven't looked for myself because I haven't found the need to check (M$'s driver is dated 6/21/2006, which is absolutely ancient as far as drivers go).

Generally speaking, the refresh rate is not that important. Scenes with smooth motion and panning will generally look cleaner on a 120hz set, because the TV is successfully able to insert new frames (your video signal is not 120hz, but about 30hz. The difference is made up by the TV analyzing the frames and making new ones that go in between the original frames). Scenes with very choppy motion typically look worse (because the frames inserted by the TV don't match up correctly, making the image sharper and crisper-seeming but jerky and jittery). This is not a 120hz TV, though. If that feature is important to you, you're going to have to look at the true TV line (T260HD is really a monitor with TV features) I have a T260HD, and if you are going to use it primarily as a monitor, but also as a TV, it's pretty good. I've owned monitors that looked better, and I own a TV that looks better, but this unit is a good meld of the two. It has a very limited ideal viewing angle, and some problems with banding and bleeding at the edges, but it looks pretty good and it has all of the TV inputs. If you're looking for a TV that you will use as a monitor only occasionally, buy a TV that has a bunch of HDMI ports, and just get a DVI-&gt;HDMI adapter for your PC. Samsung's got several very nice TVs at 32" (the alternative you were considering). If you want the 120hz, the LN32B650 or LN32B640 will do it for you. If you don't care, the LN32B550 is a very nice display as well (I have the 40" B550, and I like it). Samsung doesn't have many high quality options in the 26" size (they're all 720p only, except for the monitor-TVs like this one)

I had my monitor set for 1920x1080 (HDMI) with no problem. Anything above that is unknown.

I currently run on 1080P, 60Hz. This card is a waste on that resolution. Now if you are going to overclock or run 120/144 Hz then this monitor kicks serious butt! My 144Hz monitors are now ordered so I will input after using them. Will be upping to 1440P once the ASUS ROG 120Hz monitor drops.

It's all done within Nvidia Control Panel. The only thing you got to do is create the custom resolution (that will let you set new refresh rate as well). I took my monitor to 96hz and I didn't try to go any further.

Take a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6792632-1.html as it explains there's a lot more to the 120Hz TVs than just the 120Hz. The real change is in the anti-judder feature which is a personal preference issue. The article is 1.5 yrs old but worth a read.

um im not sure what you mean by refresh rate. like how fast it turn on? pretty quick. be a little more pacific maybe i can answer your question

Actually, that's not correct. The person you spoke with at Samsung was either misinformed, or perhaps there was a misunderstanding between what you asked them, or what they said. This set is always doing 120 Hz processing. When you press the info button on the remote, what's shown is the frame rate of the SOURCE material. For regular TV, this will usually be 60Hz. 120 Hz only comes into play on this set with High Def imagery involving the original 24fps film recording used on many Blue Ray discs, or for 3-D imagery. For LCD TV's, the 120 Hz refresh rate is necessary to provide judder free (or at least closer to it...) images of high speed or action sequences, such as sports scenes, as they're notoriously poor at rendering these images cleanly. Due to the differences in technology, DLP doesn't generally suffer from this problem and it's not required.

You don't. You actually want the refresh rate to match the frame rate of the content

this is from cnet"The big step-up feature for this series is a 120Hz refresh rate, which is said to cut down on the motion blur sometimes seen by sharp-eyed viewers in fast-moving scenes -- although in our tests of 60Hz LCDs, motion blur hasn't been an issue."

Check the article in PC Mag about refresh rates 240 vs 120. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp

Yes, as a matter of fact, it's connected to my rig via HDMI. I'm think I'm getting 120Hz but have to reconfirm.

I'm having the exact same problem when trying 1080p. It lets me go to 144hz when not in HD though.
