This model here shows a 120 hz refresh rate. On other sites the same model (60LB7100) shows as a 240 hz refresh rate. Which is correct?

I have the 70 inch model. I'm not sure about the refresh rate, but the motion of the on screen images is very fluid; more so than smaller TVs I've had. I think that is the LG Trumotion effect. Here's a link that explains it a little more: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130307210110AAVgVXD

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

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.

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.

The refresh rate of 120 hz is for the benefit of this TV's 3D function. Otherwise, according to this article, higher refresh rates don't make sense.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp update: I found this Samsung article on their Clear Motion function. http://www.samsung.com/us/article/clear-motion-rate-a-new-standard-for-motion-clarity

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

It depends how one defines the refresh rate. My understanding is the refresh rate is technically 60 Hz, but Toshiba employs their "ClearScan" back lighting technology to raise the effective rate to 120 Hz. An explanation of how this works can be found on Toshiba's forum at http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Televisions-Knowledge-Base/TOSHIBA-ClearScan/ta-p/361268. I have the 32 inch and the 23 inch versions of this product and, in my opinion, the picture is great and handles fast-moving action, such as sports, very well.

If you mean what is the difference between 60hz and 120hz, it is a refresh rate(speed) that changes the blacks to whites and back again to provde for a smoother motion especially when watching sports. The higher the number the better. 240hz being the highest true refresh rate. If you see 600hz in a plasma it is not a true refresh rate number. It is 60 hz flashed 10 times a sec.

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)

A real advantage of a 120Hz and higher refresh rate is to properly display 24p movies. What is a good refresh rate? As said above, the Refresh Rate is mostly a marketing gimmick. While the 120Hz alone is not worth it, it usually come with a better panel, which could have a better response time and produce a better image.Panel refresh rate 60 Hz 120Hz 240Hz +Normal TV or Passive 3D Ok Good GoodWith Active Shutter 3D Invalid Ok Good

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.

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.

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.

I have the 60LA7400 with 240Hz and I have a 55" Samsung with 120Hz and I really cannot tell the difference. All Bluray players send a 60Hz signal and the TV's procesor uses the 240Hz to show you the best quality picture. Also do not be fooled by people that tell you that you need a 3D ready or 120 or 240Hz ready HDMI cable. All HDMI cables are the same except the ones that have Ethernet capabilites and there is not technology for that yet. A $10 HDMI cable from Amazon will show the same quality picture as the $200 one a salesman will want you to buy from yor local electronics store. The only diffence is the amount of shielding in the cable that the $200 has, so unless the cable is going from your Bluray around your washing machine then around your dishwasher to your TV your fine...HDMI is digital, either it works or it doesn't work.

Sorry, I discarded the owner's manual with the box and the information is not on the set itself. I have no clue what the refresh rate is.

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

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.
