Who just received this TV? Is it 60 hz or 120 hz? Please let me know.

According to its specs, the power supply is AC110-120V 60Hz (http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN46F5500AFXZA-specs)

Electricity in the US is 60 hz. You may be thinking of the 120 hz refresh rate for the screen. 120 hz refresh rate gives a much more detailed picture than the standard tv with a 60 hz refresh rate. If you check further, some tv's now have refresh rate of 240 hz.

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

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

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.

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

You had the ask the guy that owns a custom home theater company.It's true 240HZ. It's one of their higher end models. I installed this exact tv in a master bedroom of a clients house about a month ago. They are very happy with it and report a fabulous video with totally amazing 3D. It's a great TV and amazon has had some of the best prices I've seen for it anywhere.

Amazon is wrong. Other sites has this @ 60. If you do a search on the LCD it will say 60Hz

Unfortunately it's more like 60hz, but all in all the price is great and the image is perfectly clear. Hope it helps.

It is 120 and I am 100% sure. This might be one of the most over rated stats though. You may not be a video game player but Xbox one and PS4 both play games at 60 even sometimes 30. This TV does not let you manipulate the rate and some TVs do. You will read about TVs having a soap opera effect and this TV does on some programming. Higher the rate the more likely it is. That being said I love the TV.

hey man bottom line go bigger that 120mhz is a gimmick I have this tv, you will NOT go wrong with the 46". Believe me! I had the same debacle as you. 46" is the way to go

The refresh rate is actually (probably, hard to get a definitive answer) 120hz; Samsung uses a technology they call "clear motion" to provide what they consider the equivalent of a 240hz refresh rate. Some other manufacturers do likewise (using either the same or different technology) to claim a larger refresh rate; for example LG calls theirs "TruMotion". The technology is beyond me, but if you'd like more details do a search for "refresh rate", or ask (in a search engine) a question like "what is Clear Motion refresh rate". I know CNET.com does a fairly detailed explanation. Both they and Consumer Reports cautions on taking these claims at face value as in their reviews they say they commonly see some tv's w/lower claimed refresh rates having a better pic (less fast action blur) than other tv's w/higher claimed refresh rates. It sucks, but we're stuck with this goofy arrangement and at the mercy of the manufacturers claims.

i can't speak for the 46", as my TV is the 22"...that being said, you are correct, my set actually has a 60hz refresh, not the 120 that is hinted at in the "marketing" material...this is technical malarkey for "sort-of"...well it's not...for a little set in the kitchen where we use ours no big deal at all...we watch all sorts of stuff on it, including Blu-Ray movies...for a "main" set where you are watching a lot of "action-stuff" like sports this would be a consideration...blurring as an example...Samsung makes a great product, however my personal recommendation for something that large i.e., would be a Sony...they do cost more, and the picture is worth it...and the re-fresh will more likely be an actual 240hz or better depending on the model...good-luck...jo'c

I called LG's tech support twice and both times they said that this TV IS native 120Hz. The link above to the LG FAQ page is NOT answered by a staff member, instead its from a regular "contributor".

It may be listed as 60Hz but I'm quite sure it is 120Hz because it has the sopa opera effect (that only occurs in sets with 120Hz or higher)

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

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.

What he means by "true" 120Hz technology is that you aren't getting 120 Hz from your source, the TV just creates it, kind of like upconverting an old DVD, you dont get "True" 1080p because the DVD is only 480p. You also don't get true 120Hz because the DVD is 24Hz or 30Hz. So, technically speaking, right now I don't know of any way you can get a true 120Hz picture other than maybe a very high end PC if there are any that support it. That is also assuming that the TV would accept it as input, many TVs are strange like that.

From what I understand comcast only deliveres a refresh rate of 60hz. The tv up converts it to 120 so we are getting the 120 refresh rate of 120.
