Is that even useful? 37" seems like a really nice size (I'd love something bigger than 32", but 40" seems like it's pushing it). Really I'd *LOVE* an LED backlight and would pay for it, but since those seem to be virtually nonexistant at the moment in these sizes, Sony's best 37" seems like a nice choice.

24p is possible on 60hz LCD's but note that 60 is not a multiple of 24, but 120hz is a multiple. So when 24p is being pulled down, it will not be pulled exactly 5 times per frame but some weird combination like : 1st frame 2x, second frame 3x, 3rd frame 2x and so forth. Not that you will ever notice. Anyway, that is what I saw somewhere.

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 -

"turn the Auto Motion Plus OFF" Does that include blue-ray which, from what I've read is the only device that can take advantage of the 120hz setting at this time? At least without the soap opera effect.

The refresh rate. For TVs, the refresh rate means nothing. A high refresh rate TV does not guarantee it to be motion blur free. Even for console gaming, there is no advantage to a 120Hz+ TV because the console video games are capped at 60 fps anyway.

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)

It is my understanding that TV manufacturers use a variety of ways to achieve the final refresh rate which they include in their advertising. Whether this TV uses a 60Hz panel and a processor or other means to achieve the advertised 120 Hz refresh rate is probably best answered by the manufacturer. What I can tell you is that I have not noticed any problem with motion blur. The on-screen menu has a picture adjustment called "Tru-Motion" which includes a "De-Judder" adjustment with four settings: "Smooth", "Clear", "User", and ""Off". You can experiment with the different settings. My personal opinion is that the picture quality is excellent.

The TV does NOT support over 60 Hz! I've tried many methods to get the TV to display more than 60 Hz using my high-end gaming PC, but nothing has worked. I've talked with two Samsung customer support representatives and both have confirmed that this TV only supports up to a 60 Hz refresh rate! I specifically bought this TV for the 120 Hz refresh rate and now, a little more than a year later, I've just discovered that this product title and description are FALSE ADVERTISING.

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.

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.

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.

220 hz minimises Motion blur for high speed video action , ie football, games etc. i did not do a side by side, but talked to tech heads at my office who said the difference was negligable, but present. For my money- I went with 240 hz for best processing capability. Research on line for technical info

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....

"Film mode" enabled (on) activates the TV's motion blue technology. It will be under this setting that full 120Hz would be used by the tv. If you feel the standard isn't 120hz. Personally, I think the TV uses the 120hz and then film mode enhances that. 120hz is not the greatest for sports/movies with fast action to begin with.

The benefit with 120Hz is because a 24 frames per second(FILM) can be easily converted to 120Hz. Just show each frame 5 times. Where as to convert 24fps to 60Hz there has to be some manipulation of frames. Whether it be merging a few frames per second or displaying every couple frames twice.

What the heck I purchased because one of my criteria was that it have a 120Hz. If it is 60 then that is totally false advertisement n I will investigate. I have always had superb experience w amazon so this is a concern.

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.

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 don't have it connected to Cable or Network tv...I mainly only watch Bluray movies or use Netflix/Hulu/Youtube and also my gaming console. I will say some movies/tv shows only shown in standard definition via Netflix look great, the 240hz on the M Series extremely helps standard definition....Very little to no grain and no judder from what I've seen.
