IS IT TRUE THAT THE SAMSUNG UN65F8000 HAS 6O HZ INSTEAD 240Z

It better have the 240HZ refresh rate! That is my understanding. When this question was posted I looked at the specs from other sights including cnet which confirmed that it was 240HZ. This is supposed to be Samsung's top of the line model.

You are probably looking at the 60Hz on the AC power supply. All US AC electrical current operates at 60Hz. The 240Hz refers to tthe screen refresh rate,

it depends on what you use it for. It wont make any difference with gaming because the 240 hz refresh is disabled. you will notice a difference with fast moving scenes and sports displayed in HD. You can get a un46b8000 or un55b8000, both are 240 HZ LED tv's with very good picture quality. They are cheap right now as well because the new 2010 models are out.

Yes. just this listing appears a bit more honest. Looked this up a while bk and the 6700 models have 60hz panels, and only allow for 60hz input. it's just the software (perhaps thas the trumotion part) that creates a 120hz effect. so yes I'd say its the same tv you saw before. Even though that listing says 60hz, lg still sticks to their 120hz claim though on these ('Trumotion 120hz, that is) http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv I'm happy with my purchase though, 60hz, or fake 120hz, it still looks great to me. (grabbed the 55lm6700 a few mos. ago)

According to the manual it is only 60 Hz vertical refresh rate. However, it is a very nice smart tv. The speakers are slightly better than most tv's these days. Unless you are a fickle videophile you will like the tv.

Dear Arch, Thank you so much for your inquiry. The Monster Cable Black Platinum HDMI cable most definitely will handle a 240Hz refresh rate. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

As of today, no 4K TV manufacturer has claimed a 240HZ refresh rate. Surprisingly even cnet has miss spec'd this TV as having 240Hz. Nowhere in the specs of this TV does Samsung claim 240Hz. Samsung advertises this TV as 1200 clear motion, which, to be honest, is a made up number and all TV manufacturers will be using some made up marketing number this year on their TV's. So, for now, there is no 240Hz 4K TV's. That being said, don't let that stop you because technically there is so little difference between the 120Hz and 240Hz effect on liquid crystals that no one can tell the difference even if they say they can. The motion improvements on these TV's all takes place in the video processing, frame creation and strobing back lights.

HDMI 1.3- No. That is a feature of the step up 89 series, not 87 series. See 6189s. The caveat here is that 1.3 has become standard for a while now and Samsung's parts bin may contain all 1.3 parts by now. So the 87s MIGHT be 1.3 now, by default. Certainly would not count on it. 24p- yes, they can and do display 24 fps. HOWEVER they will only do this if the player can "force" 24 fps. The PS3 and some Panasonic bluray's can do this. Don't know about the xbox 360. In PS3, you have to change 24p setting from "automatic" to "on" in order to force it to tv. 120hz- sorta. It is listed as doing 120hz. But this is because it is wobulated, as are all single chip DLP sets (which is all of them). In reality, the DLP chip is not 1080p, it has to quickly fill in and effectively double the pixels in order to produce a 1080 image. The 120hz helps to accomplish this even faster. Also these sets are 3D capable which is the true reason they have 120hz. I say true reason because LCD's offered this higher refresh rate to help combat motion blur, or "smooth" the picture with their 4-8ms response time. DLP response time is about 15ms, IIRC. But in DLP's case that's "microseconds" not "milliseconds"- it is light years faster than any LCD panel and so 120hz is not really needed with DLP tech- motion blur was never a problem. It's used for 3D (and 24p) capability. The newer models coming in April are supposedly 240hz. Hope this helps

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

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 is 120 Hz, but has MotionFlow XR 240 to smooth any blurring of the picture, so its picture is on par with a 240 Hz setup.

I looked at both the UN46B7000 and the UN46B8000 and to me the 240mhz is noticably smoother during action scenes. The 8500 is the best LCD picture I have seen but not worth 2X the price of the 8000 series. I got my UN46B8000 during a previous promotion that ended on 11/7/09 for $1889. The Link-Stick makes WiFi internet acess a snap.

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.

Use 120Hz to watch movies and regular TV. The 240Hz is for watching sports with high motion. It really comes down to personal preference once you watch for a while you will figure out what bothers you about both rates. The new TVs allow you to turn the features off in the menu structure. There is only about a 30% improvement from 120Hz to 240Hz. You have to experience it to make a decision. Go to a big box store and make the change in the menu to allow you to see the difference.

I purchased a samusung 40 led tv. It is a 120 hz according to the box it came in. Also according to samsung customer service reps. But yet on the back of the tv where there is the UL label it says the tv is 60 hz. Noone at samsung seems to know why. I spoke to many of their reps and duh they have no idea why. Does anyone know why there is this difference?

I had the same concerns as you regrading Hz. There is a CONSIDERABLE difference that you can notice between 60Hz and 120HZ when watching fast paced movies (fast n furious) or sports. However, there is less of a difference when you move from 120Hz to 240Hz. I've read that the 650B series/model is the same as the 850A series, except the 850A is just somewhat slimmer/thinner. I opt'ed for the 750B because I got a great price from SEARS ($1999.00) and I compared it to Sony's XBR9 series and I liked the Sammy better. Also, I was reading the blogs and although the 850A is a great TV, the majority of comments stated the 750 is the way to go. So you are aware, BB was selling the 850A for $1899.00 on their web-site.
