Laurence,I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting.jm

Thanks for your reply!I made my purchase a month ago and I decided to go with the Sharp LC42-D85U which is 120hz.24p is just for blu ray but I wanted the smooth action that it offers. I only really noticed it on my old set with Star Wars. There was one scene with a black background and alot of action and it was noticably choppy. I have yet to play the same movie and compare.

I'm not quite sure, but I've heard there have been many problems achieving 120Hz with and HDMI cable. If I were you, however, I'd get display port, it's basically the future. Regardless of that, this monitor is very, very, nice. It's responsive, it looks beautiful, and was rather easy to setup. Definitely worth the price.

I bought a similar Samsung and also thought I was getting a 60 hz picture but in fact, by default it uses the 120 hz. The 60 hz that is shown (I don't recall where that setting is shown) is misleading and does not represent the actual 120 hz that the TV uses by default. Nothing to turn on, you are getting 120 hz. Samsung should be more clear about this but I did track down the issue on their website.

According to the document that was included, 1920x1080@60Hz is one of the supported resolutions, but I have not tested it since my PC does not have that resolution capability. I do not believe this unit will "up-convert" a non-HD signal to to 1080/720(i/p). I can tell you that I was pleased with the quality of the signal when I used it to display karaoke songs onto my 32" TV with my setting of resolution 1280x720@60Hz, true color 32bit, so I assume the quality would only improve if the source signal has a higher resolution. I hope this helps.

"Who Dat" is correct in his statement on 2-23-13 that this is a 120hz with the 240hz clear/full motion plus. We were fooled by the Samsung advertising on the same TV which stated 120hz clear/full motion on the box. It was only 60hz. We don't use the 240hz "plus" function. We don't see the benefit.

It's not the Panasonic, it's the Samsung. Many people go out and buy these LCD's with 120 refresh rates only to find themselves with the same thing you are talking about a nearly "too clear" or "soap opera" looking picture. Go out and read the reviews for the 120 refresh sets. Many people find themselves preferring a little extra judder from the 60 refresh than the picture being almost too realistic as you stated; others say it's worth the trade off, it all personal perference. I know for sure the Samsung LCD 600 series are 120 refresh for sure. Being you feed it such a nice clean 1080P signal with the panny and you get the result. Bottom line is that effect is not from your DVD player.

Look into Sony's Motionflow technology. I only use my HDTV for gaming and computer. But the refresh rate is not an issue for gaming at all, no motion blur what-so-ever. I have a 120Hz 55" HDTV, if you ask me this 60Hz HDTV seems better on the motion blur then my 120Hz. But I can only speak from a gaming perspective, seeing that I only use this particular HDTV for gaming.

Found this response from Samsung on the Samsung site:"I can understand your confusion on this matter. However, there are currently no transmittable signals that are sent at over 60Hz. If the TV has a 240Hz panel, then the image will be displayed at 240Hz. There are varying degrees of 240Hz that can be displayed (please check out the owners manual on page 19 for more information), but the unit will always display at 240Hz.

I thought the S550 even allows HDMI output to send 1080p. Should I set it to just 1080i instead? My TV accepts 1080p.The cnet website http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6859904-1.html says to just try different mode. Any idea from anyone, what the setting for the S550 should be set to?

Few questions1080 60p is not part of the AVCHD standard, it only goes as high as 1080 60iWas the AVCHD standard modified to now accept 1080 60p?Or is Sony using a proprietary format?I exclusively use the PS3 to playback my videos that I store on a USB external drive.Will the 1080 60p footage from this camera playback on a PS3?The previous model CX550 could not capture pictures while shooting video at the highest bit rate, is this still the case?Thanks for your input.

Hi G.Thomas, Please take a look at this link: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/lcd-tv/LN52B630N1FXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=forum and click on question "my set says 60hz in upper left hand corner i though the set was a 120hz is there some way to do it? thank you " As the guy explains: A: That's a great question. The processor on the Samsung 120Hz/240Hz units will always display at their respective Hz. Even when the signal is only being transmitted at 60Hz, it will always display at 120Hz/240Hz since the processor is always upconverting the signal. Activating the Auto Motion Plus feature will allow for judder reduction and blurring reduction, depending on what settings you activate. This will enhance your 120Hz/240Hz viewing. The reason you are seeing the 60Hz in the info box is because the info box only displays the signal's actual Hz and screen resolution and not the info of the picture on the screen after the TV processes it. Meaning that the 60Hz you are seeing is the signals actual Hz and not the screen's Hz. Currently there is no way to display the screen's Hz in the info box. -MrSamsung So as long as you have automotion turned on you are getting the full capability of the tv. It does not have anything to do with what signal you are getting from dish.

1080p/60Hz refers to the source input, the TV is telling you that's the signal it is receiving -- and the input doesn't change when 120 Hz is on.

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!

I'd like to ask you a question about the 24p content. I produce videos in 24p, and although I'm very creative, I'm not a tech guru. Thus, I've been trying to witness the difference between TV's out there that claim to have good 24p playback capabilities, as we produce several things at that frame rate. Have you seen them side by side? Does the lower Hz level really make a big difference? I've seen the 8000 in action, but never checked the Hz level and didn't compare it to the 7000. Thanks in advance for your help.

So while HD4000 is more than capable of displaying 2560x1440 the screen doesn't use the faster implementation of HDMI. This means that you can only display full resolution at 30HTz instead of the standard 60. From experience this feels very fuzzy and probably not worth the trouble. 1080P runs fine on HDMI but to get full res you need either dual-dvi or displayport. EDIT: After doing some reading I realized I gave some incorrect data. The screen is speced to be able to run HDMI1.4 which is good enough to run full resolution. If you are using a computer with HDMI1.3 you will be stuck at 30HTz like I explained above.

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.
