Samsung UN55D7000: I have a question'; the tv says it is 240hzbut it shows 60 hz; can someone explain this?

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,

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".

I have the 55vt60 with about 1700 hrs. . I pulled up the tv menu and looked at the grey on the top and bottom of the menu . Yes , I see what you are talking about ( I think ) . I see it at about 1 ft. and it disappears at about 3 or 4 ft. . If you are seeing this all across the gray area . I believe you are OK . If you are seeing this in a small area in the gray that is different . You might have a problem . I would take a video of this and go to avsforum.com - Plasma Displays - ZT60 thread and post it there . If I am seeing what you see , it is OK . Sit back and enjoy !

Samsung has its own special 'clear motion rate' that they use to determine the hz level. Other companys do it to with their own wording. Basically in short its like saying....samsungs proprietary image processor provides a smoother and cleaner image than the general old school version or knockoff brand and that being said lends the image to look like its 120hz. When combined with the led backlit technology and the panels 60hz refresh rate its basically equivalent to the modern day 120hz models. I have 4 HDTVs and I can tell you that there is a huge difference between samsung and other brands. This particular tv I have hooked up straight to the cable so I don't even get the luxury's of having crystal clear HDTV you get from having a cable box with HDTV features. I have the brightness turned down all the way to 0 as well lol since its in a bedroom with blacked out curtains. The TV is solid the apps are solid and the fact that samsung is working on an adapter to constantly update the smart features is awesome. The only down side is that this is the start of a new erra. OLED is going to be the norm. Google it for more info but basically your going to get deeper blacks with it because your turning LEDs off not hiding them. For what its worth its an awesome low end smart TV with solid features, images, HDMI! hello-3 i think thats more than my 65" samsung has. Keeping it at 40 inches is a good small-med sized room TV, my recommendation is to get a 46" if you want it for a medium sized room and is you want a living room TV go 55". I regret my 65" purchase - to big. Streatches pixels and makes mediocre cable look terrible because you see every flaw. Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask another question I have no problem providing info/answers to any questions.

Currently there are no Samsung 55 inch LCDs with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The closest is the B750, but it only comes in 52 inches.

Jean, I've got a 65" F8000 and I've looked thru the book and in the emanual on the TV and see nowhere does it list refresh rate. That may be a term that gets complicated when you're dealing with Smart TVs. On the Samsung website, it lists a 1200 clear motion rate and the Amazon site tech details say 240 HZ. I can find neither with the pubs that came with it. I can only say that it's a superior picture for action and movement onscreen from my layman's point of view.

The input feed is always 60Hz, and that's what it's telling you. 120Hz is the refresh rate internal to the TV, so your TV up-converts from the 60Hz internally.

I believe its a 60 refresh rate. I have had this tv for over 2 years now and not one problem. I would recomend it. Itd better picture than a new samsung i recently bought.

I have the 55" LM6700 not the 47" but I have noticed that it does appear to be 60hz instead of the advertised 120hz. This doesn't bother me too much because I dislike the way 120 hz. looks. TruMotion is horrible.

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.

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)

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.

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.

I am having the same problem. I purchased a 40" LCD LED HD Samsung 120Hz 1080p and when I turn my TV on it shows 60Hz 1080i. And I still don't understand what is wrong. How can I fix it.

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.

The Samsung that I purchased has the 120HZ refresh rate. I can take a picture of the box that it was shipped in if you like.

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.
