The only thing you can bank on is that the true refresh rate is 120, twice the 60 rate on some models that I've seen, that were still decent TV's. In the settings on the TV you can turn on an option "Clear Motion Refresh (CLR)" which Samsung claims will simulate a refresh rate of 240. As with all smoke and mirrors, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I haven't found any issues with blurring during fast action sequences and I don't even have the CLR option turned on. The CLR can produce a "soap opera" like effect. After owning this TV for a year, my only remorse was not buying an 80" set. Bigger always seems better, although I have friends with the Samsung UN55ES8000 55" 3D model and they love those TV's, too. If you're patient, you could find one of those sets for $1500 on the web. The best new price I've seen for the UN65EH6000 has been $1299 at BrandSmart.

It's technically 120, but it can artificially imitate 240 with its smooth motion technology if you turn it on. That seems to make things look too smooth, almost robotically fast. Some people call this the soap opera effect.

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"

The refresh rate is 120 Hz. The "240 CMR" is part of an arbitrary measurement ("Clear Motion Rate") that Samsung applies to their current line of HDTVs.

Just from looking quickly, I think it is simply that this tv is 240MHZ where mine is 120 if I remember correctly. The only other thing might be that it is a newer model. Unsure of that though. Other than that they look very similar and I have been extremely happy with my television. Some things to work through, but that is the joy of technology and newer technology. The smart features have been very cool and great for entertainment.

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!

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

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.

The tv is 120hz in 3D mode, but no tv has support for 240hz in 3d mode yet. everything else can be set to 240hz, games, movies, etc

Really the refresh rate is fine for viewing any program, DVD or Blu-Ray. If you are playing some sort of advanced video game you might wish it was 120 but I've never once thought it was inadequate for watching TV.

The panel refreshes at 120hz you can't turn it on/off. When you see "60hz" on the screen it's because that's what the source is, so far there are no 120hz sources.

i have contacted amazon and panasonic they both said the refresh rate is 120hz. the 60 hz is the electrical supply it needs to be plugged in to.

You are very misinformed Watcher. 120hz refers to the panel refresh rate and whether you are watching 30fps video or 24fps movies it still relies on the 120hz refresh rate to display images. As JVAN has shared with us, Plasma TVs don't rely on that technology, it's an LCD thing.

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.

Refresh rate is 120hz (RR) the other is (CMR ) which is different..... there is a 60hz 120hz 240hz( RR) and 600hz for plasma....to get a 240hz( RR) you need at least a 720 or better ( CMR)

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.

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.

120 basically doubles the refresh rate of the images. That is very good especially if you like sports. .. I had a Sony that I returned because it said it was 1080 pixels but it was really only 720... don't you hate being lied to? I do...

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.

The 554 has a higher refresh rate 480Hz vs 240Hz.From what I've found the 554 won't be available until early 2011.Btw, the 72" model has been canceled, maybe they'll have a 65" model available but again we won't know until early 2011.
