Does *not* have 120hz motionflow?

You are exactly right. Information posted by many customers re: 120HZ on this set is often incorrect and oftentimes the manufacturers themselves do not make the specs clear (carefully read the 120hz info on the new LG Scarlet for a good example - the 120hz info is buried re: availability on different sizes). I would appreciate it if Amazon would correct this chart to help purchasers make more informed decisions and to maintain a higher standard than other websites. Thanks for your post -

I assume the higher the Hz the better the motion on screen looks. Smoother vs. blur or pixelated.

this is from cnet"The big step-up feature for this series is a 120Hz refresh rate, which is said to cut down on the motion blur sometimes seen by sharp-eyed viewers in fast-moving scenes -- although in our tests of 60Hz LCDs, motion blur hasn't been an issue."

No this model run on 120 hz. I love this TV ~ great for my viewing. I'm not a gamer.

I have the UH50EH6000F and on the box it says "Clear motion rate 240 - A new motion clarity measure based on the actual measurement of resolution in a moving scene"

It does pass through a 3DVision signal, which requires 120Hz. Not sure about anything above that.

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!

Yes basically, it was advertised being 120hz, but when i got it, its only a software upgrade that makes them able to say it's 120hz, but on the screen it says 60hz even in cinema mode

NO! 120Hz is a marketing gimmick! Don't fall for it because no one watches movies like that! That fps is meant for recorded video, NOT MOVIES! Put it this way, do movies in theatres appear 120FPS? No. All movies are displayed in 24FPS as they were meant to be. This TV will put ANY other HDTV to shame!!!EDIT: Okay, okay... I'll just add that I THINK 120Hz is a "gimmick". Others find it very useful and engaging.

This is not a 120hz TV, it is a 60HZ TV that has a feature called "120Hz Clear Motion" That means it is simulating higher rate (simulated 120Hz, NOT actual 120Hz) by inserting extra frames but the truel rate is 60Hz.

Yes, after contacting Sumsung CS, (1-800-samsung), I upgraded to firmware 2004 (as of Nov 14, 2007), still see motion blur for fast-moving balls, very dissapointing so far, the 120 Hz seems too much hype

Take a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6792632-1.html as it explains there's a lot more to the 120Hz TVs than just the 120Hz. The real change is in the anti-judder feature which is a personal preference issue. The article is 1.5 yrs old but worth a read.

I was wondering the same thing, It has HDMI 1.4 which would support 1080p with 120hz so that threw me off.

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.

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.

This isn't a silly question at all! It's actually one of the best questions I've seen on here. The answer is no because you can only input a 60hz signal into the TV (just confirmed this - When I connected my laptop to my UN65H7150, it defaulted to 59hz and the highest option for me to put it at was 60hz). The software on the TV tries to figure out what should be between each frame inputted to it. Googled it and confirmed it: "Unfortunately televisions function differently than monitors. The 240hz is not the refresh rate, but the amount of frames that the television can produce after using a built in interpolation algorithm. It's base refresh and likely highest available for you to use with a computer is 60Hz and then the interpolation software in the television adds more frames in between frames from your input and outputs 240 frames. This makes it look smoother." For a movie, it'd look smoother, but for gaming it'd probably do more harm than good. Seems like what I found on google checks out. Grab a 120hz monitor made for a computer, not a TV for your son.

Poof is dead-on correct. There is absolutely no merit to the claim that monster cables are necessary for 120Hz refresh rate. It's like claiming that 93 octane gas makes your windshield wipers work more efficiently - there's absolutely no connection. Anyone trying to sell you "mega monstrosity super-duper" cables is either deluded themselves, or trying to sell you a high profit margin product.
