Does anyone know when the 240 Hz version of this TV will become available: Does anyone know if this is going to happen anytime soon.

There is no 240 Hz model of the 650 and there will never be for this years model at least. The next closest model to have a 240Hz is the 750 series. And between them both u may see a difference but only if you are a really connoisseur, save ur money and wait for the 240Hz next year when they improve the technology more.

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.

Considering they keep uping the Hz we may always be chasing the speed. The HDTV's from just last year were 60Hz. The higher end one's were 120Hz and now we are at 240Hz. I am going for the size. I hope I am making the right choice.

Please post when you receive the tv. I am also planning on getting a used-like new set and cannot seem to find many stories about anyone buying this.

Doggone. And I was just thinking about springing for a samsung 4671 (a consensus 5 stars from Amazon consumers). The main thing that bugs me about the V2500 series is the omission of Normal mode when adjusting aspect ratio. Since the set automatically interprets a 480i signal as 720p or 1080i, you're stuck watching nothing but short fat people unless you can control aspect ratio from the DVD player and set-up box. It wouldn't matter if all source material were in hi def, but unfortunately most is not. Sony made a colossal blunder, but apparently woke up by the time of the 3000 series.

It better have the 240HZ refresh rate! That is my understanding. When this question was posted I looked at the specs from other sights including cnet which confirmed that it was 240HZ. This is supposed to be Samsung's top of the line model.

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.

Laurence, I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting. jm

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.

Im getting this tv at Best Buy if Amazon doesn't drop the price back down to around 1900 where it was 2 weeks ago. They keep raising the price and that is kinda of ridiculous. I can get this TV under 2k at my local Best Buy.

Could it be, that they no longer have the black TV because of the lighting that customers where complaining about, and perhaps, the problem was fixed by replacing it with Titanuim(the frame or whatever you call it)? for me, Buying a 65 inch TV is becoming an unpleasant career project, I can't beleive that Samsung released this TV without perfecting it, and exposed themselves to criticism, I am beginning to loose faith in them, they should come out and explain to the public about what's going on with that model tv instead of hiding and letting us guess.

the one i bought at Best Buy was a 530! is that a lesser or is it more? i paid $800 out the door. two weeks ago, i can still take it back and save $. BTW, i LOVE this TV. I feel like i could jump right in and join the parade!

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'm also trying to decide between the two. Only difference seems to be that the 52b750 is 240hz instead of 120hz for the 55b650. I think that has something to do with response time. Hoping that we can get responses indicating whether or not the average person can notice the difference when watching tv. I would rather spend an extra $100 for a larger tv but wonder if I would be missing out on a better picture with the 240hz.

The TV manufacturers have come up with a new way to confuse you. Now they have some 120hz tv's with a 240 motion something or other. It's another stabilizing feature I suppose. Under extreme conditions, the 240hz will probably have a steadier picture on high speed action scenes. I haven't come a across a scene yet where it blurred. Most people are startled at the beautiful picture my 50 inch has and the price was very reasonable. I'm going to buy the 75 inch model of this same tv soon.
