What is the refresh rate? 60 or 120hz?

I would think that it's 60hz because of the super low response time. Most of your new HDTV's have at least a 120 and in some cases 240hz refresh rate which is what makes their response times anywhere from 10-18 ms. Doesn't seem like a lot until you play on a BENQ which has a 1 ms response time.

60 PS4/X1/PS3/360 games will never go above 60 anyway so it will be more then enough for them.

The actual refresh rate is 60Hz but the back light refresh rate can go up to 120. So it is a 60Hz monitor which refreshes the back light 120times this kind of marketing is crap because they claim it will make your images clearer as a higehr refresh rate would but this jsut shows you the same image twice making the actual refresh rate 60. Look out for these terms for fake refresh rates. Toshiba clearscan, LG TruMotion, Sony MotionFlow, Vizio SPS, Panasonic Backlight Scan.

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

The refresh rate (Hz) can vary from 50 Hz to 75 Hz depending on screen resolution. For a list of the refresh rates and corresponding resolutions, click on the following link:

Mine did not. I was lucky to see 120hz. Installations do vary but in my opinion the drivers are just too small to do LF well.

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.

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.

Excellent question! My invoice (purchased late Jan.) also states 120Hz, but I just looked on the back of my set and it clearly indicates 60Hz. Interesting.

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.

Clear scan 120 Hz doubles the panel's 60 Hz refresh rate for clearer fast motion

No-the refresh rate is 240hz, not the power used. I don't know the difference, but 240 RR is better than 120RR.

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

You're mixing apples and oranges. It's the HDMI 1.4 ports that can only accept a maximum resolution of 3,840x2,160p30 (or 3,840 by 2,160 @ 30 frames per second) assuming 24-bit color because the bandwidth is not wide enough to handle any more than that. HDMI 2.0 (standard just agreed a few months ago) doubles that bandwidth to accommodate 60 fps keeping everything else constant. You're talking about the refresh rate when you mention 120Hz meaning that the TV is refreshing its picture faster than the fps rate of the source material. As of right now, there is no 120 fps video that I'm aware of, but it's supposed to be the standard for UHTV (4k) whenever they start producing 4k native content. Of course, at that point, not even HDMI 2.0 will have a sufficiently wide bandwidth to handle the 120 fps content at 4k resolution. The short answer to your question is that it's not the TV or its refresh rate, but rather the limit of its HDMI ports that is the problem with the current generation of 4k sets.

If you are referring to the refresh rate, this set is above average at 240hz. I looked at it a brick & mortar retailer before buying on Amazon

Refresh rate at 120hz is how long it takes (in milliseconds) for the scene to pull up, action, and there is a difference. When two TV's (side by side) receive the same signal, the Toshiba responds faster than that of just a 60hz HDTV. I have two sets side by side (one for DVD recording and playback) so this is a television that will receive the signal and process it faster than the other. Proven to be the case.

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.

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.
