It is both. The TV has software that convert the 120Hz to 240Hz when the TV is ON. Thanks

Hi Jason, I actually just spent two hours on hold waiting for Sony to get to the bottom of the 24p/120hz issue for me, and this TV indeed runs at 60hz, which means it really is not True 24p, because the frame duplication is not equal for every frame, as it would be for 120hz (i.e. each of the 24 frames per second would be replicated five times per second as the TV refreshes 120 times in that second....24x5 = 120). This model is 60hz, so the frames replicate at something like 2:3:3:3:2 and so on (not quite sure how correct that is). I am actually very dissatisfied with this, because the whole reason I upgraded to this TV and Blu Ray was to have ACTUAL True 24p. With the Sony 32 and 37 inch models, they are falsely advertising completely...But most people would never notice a difference. 24p from Blu Ray still looks incredible on this TV, but there ARE times where something just doesn't QUITE look right...and I do notice it. I would have saved up a few extra hundred dollars for the larger, 120hz TVs had I known the technicalities of this back then....

You have to force it in your video card drivers. However, I wouldn't bank on hitting 120Hz. 90Hz might be a more realistic goal.

THe 500 refreshes 120 HZ. The 400 refreshes at 60HZ. Salesman said that was the only difference.

How I understand it is that the 120hz refresh rate is an internal feature. The television signal you receive only comes into your TV at 60hz, but your television can internally smooth it out to 120hz. So, your display is only going to show what is coming into the tv, which is 720p, 60hz, 1080i, 60hz, etc.

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.

No clue. I bought the 46" version and it is 60Hz only. The 55" apparently is 120Hz, at least according to the specs. I doubt the refresh rate is selectable

Screen "refresh rate" refers to how many times the horizontal lines on the display are rendered or "drawn" in one second. Though a higher rate does not guarantee that no motion blur will occur, it certainly helps. I own both the H5500 and the 120 Hz H6350, and the H6350 looks MUCH better.

Hz refers to the screen refresh rate. 120 hz means that the screen is "refreshed" 120 frames per second. 240 hz refreshes the screen at the rate of 240 frames per second. The purpose of the increased hz is to smooth out picture motion. The step up from the low-end refresh rate of 60 hz to 120 hz can often be noticeable, especially with fast-moving sports events. However, I can't tell any difference in going from 120 hz to 240 hz---I know that there is a difference; it's just that my old eyes can't tell the difference! Hope this helps.Charles

if you are a heavy gamer then stick to the 240 hz. the 120 hz is good but not enough for a heavy gamer.

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.

If you are speaking the refresh it is 144 Hz if you are speaking power its 120 Volts 60 Hz and the 240 volts 50 Hz is for over seas and Mexico.

Thank you for your inquiry. The 65HU8550 is indeed 240Hz Motion Flow and actually has 1200 Clear Motion with the enhanced video processor. We hope you will consider The High Definition Store.

I believe you're correct; Amazon has confused Samsung's CMR rate (240) with the refresh rate (120 Hz). This TV listed on every other site I've found is listed as 120 Hz. Also, on Amazon if you click through the size choices, all the other sizes of this model are listed as 120 Hz. Surprised more people haven't noticed/mentioned this.

It's 240Hz, you can verify this on LG website, http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55LA9650-led-tv

I Actually do not know but I am using it to the new 240 Hz and the picture is pretty good, also the second one is working from my laptop to the screen at work and works great too

If you have 120Hz, you shouldn't have a problem. Were you not able to watch in 1080p ? I don't know anything about changing refresh rates.
