In my reveiws of the subject I found out the same as Kraine did..and that is how ended up deciding on the 120.

TV and movies aren't recorded or displayed in anything higher than 60hz would cover. In my opinion, the 120hz is the way to go. Just google "240hz a gimmick" to see lots of info on the matter.

I'm perfectly happy with my 120hz for sporting events and action movies. I suppose that if you're really into graphic intensive games and slo-mo playback, the 240hz may be worth the extra bucks.

if you are a heavy gamer then stick to the 240 hz. the 120 hz is good but not enough for a heavy gamer.

Just to add, 240Hz doesn't mean it will have that weird Soap Opera Effect, that is just the way some big brands process their video with 120Hz and up sets... this one seems very smooth without that lousy effect, I love it!

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.

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.

Then you'll be fine with the 60Hz. The best thing to do is stop in a store and see if you can notice the difference between 60 & 120Hz. But read some reviews on the 60Hz and you'll see that there's no mention of blurry pictures, etc. Save your money and just get the 60! That's my .02. Good Luck!

Its a very good question. Looks like this TV is 480Hz compared to 553 (240Hz) and probably has functioning USB ports (according to specs at least). Other than that I see no real difference for 2D pics.And there is the chance by implementing 3D, some 2D quality is compromised. (Of course it may have corrected some of 55s's issues also)I guess we have to wait to see whether 554 is better in 2D than 533. However if you are not interested in 3D, I don't see it being worth $500 extra .. However I think the prices for the 554 will be coming down further in the coming weeks/holiday season.

I had tried this TV but the 120hz wasn't fast enough for me. I returned it and purchased the 240hz model 7100. It's more expensive, but the picture looks much better. I'm very happy with it. It will give you the effect you mentioned.

whats the best price on the Why 47LW6500 (240Hz) so far. I got mine for $1030. I am eligible for the low price guarantee!

hey guys the 32 650 is 15,000:1 and 5ms if you want the 50,000:1 and 4ms and the 120hz one of the same tv you have to buy the bigger size one of the same model

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

I'm also trying to decide between the two. Only difference seems to be that the 52b750 is 240hz instead of 120hz for the 55b650. I think that has something to do with response time. Hoping that we can get responses indicating whether or not the average person can notice the difference when watching tv. I would rather spend an extra $100 for a larger tv but wonder if I would be missing out on a better picture with the 240hz.

It's a solid secondary TV for me. The 120Hz allows sports and action movies to look good. I'm using it in a 15ft bedroom.

One is 120hz and the other is 240hz...this is the refresh rate..in other words the higher the number the faster. If a car speeds by or someone turns their head quickly there may or may not be a "ghost". I have the 6100 with 120hz and it's perfect. Juat make sure to get a high speed HDMI cable. the cable Amazon recommends is fine. Very happy with the tv.

120/240 is just marketing buzz. It's a frame doubler, not truly 120hz. If you send 120 frames per second to the TV, it drops frames just like a 60hz set would. There are definitive tests proving this on the official thread on avsforum.com

"The only significant difference between the 120hz or 240hz systems will be in presenting 3D content. If you think you are going to be interested in viewing 3D movies and TV shows, then you should get a 240hz system. Why? Because 3D works by showing each of your eyes only half the image on the screen - this is what makes the image three dimensional and why you have to wear special glasses. Because of this halving, your 120hz TV is really only showing 60hz to each eye (and 24fps does not go into 60hz very well). If you have a 240hz TV, each eye gets 120hz and you'll be able to watch both 24 and 30fps shows without any image manipulation."http://www.tekspree.com/what-are-tv-hertz-and-why-are-they-important/ "The only significant difference between the 120hz or 240hz systems will be in presenting 3D content.

120hz standard, but 240hz enhanced. Excellent picture, I leave it at 120hz for most viewing; I have not found a need to switch to 240hz. Granted, I did check it out at 240 but find 120 is better for regular shows/movies. Haven't watched football yet... we'll see ;-)
