I looked up this tv on hhgregg's website and toshiba's website. Both places say this model number has 120hz refresh rate. Is the amazon page wrong?

Clear scan 120 Hz doubles the panel's 60 Hz refresh rate for clearer fast motion

Amigo, I can guarantee you that 2 months to get this TV, the picture quality is very good, and if it is 120hz, I see it buy =D

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.

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.

Actually, that's not correct. The person you spoke with at Samsung was either misinformed, or perhaps there was a misunderstanding between what you asked them, or what they said. This set is always doing 120 Hz processing. When you press the info button on the remote, what's shown is the frame rate of the SOURCE material. For regular TV, this will usually be 60Hz. 120 Hz only comes into play on this set with High Def imagery involving the original 24fps film recording used on many Blue Ray discs, or for 3-D imagery. For LCD TV's, the 120 Hz refresh rate is necessary to provide judder free (or at least closer to it...) images of high speed or action sequences, such as sports scenes, as they're notoriously poor at rendering these images cleanly. Due to the differences in technology, DLP doesn't generally suffer from this problem and it's not required.

To all the people bad mouthing this 47" toshiba 1080p lcd tv: IT'S YOUR LOSS!I bought this tv for the $1199 & so far-no regret. I had read all the reviews & saw that most of the negatives were from people who had ordered previously through a 3rd party vendor & received a 42" instead of a 47". Also some complained about a 'green shift or push'--I have not seen it. Maybe this sale batch of tv's were improved. There are so many ways to adjust the color, but it looked good right out of the box so I only made minor adjustments. Glad I got it & the 52" Toshiba when they were on sale-'cause of the savings & the good quality.

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-tvI'm happy with my purchase though, 60hz, or fake 120hz, it still looks great to me. (grabbed the 55lm6700 a few mos. ago)

I spoke online with an LG rep yesterday who told me that the native refresh rate is 60hz. The TV contains software and other features that mimic a refresh rate of 120hz, but this is not the same thing as a native refresh rate of 120hz. This is in keeping with the trend over the last several years of manufacturers artificially bulking up the refresh rate to try to convince you the picture is better.

120/240 is just marketing buzz. It's a frame doubler, not truly 120hz. If you send 120 frames per second to the TV, it drops frames just like a 60hz set would. There are definitive tests proving this on the official thread on avsforum.com

i can't speak for the 46", as my TV is the 22"...that being said, you are correct, my set actually has a 60hz refresh, not the 120 that is hinted at in the "marketing" material...this is technical malarkey for "sort-of"...well it's not...for a little set in the kitchen where we use ours no big deal at all...we watch all sorts of stuff on it, including Blu-Ray movies...for a "main" set where you are watching a lot of "action-stuff" like sports this would be a consideration...blurring as an example...Samsung makes a great product, however my personal recommendation for something that large i.e., would be a Sony...they do cost more, and the picture is worth it...and the re-fresh will more likely be an actual 240hz or better depending on the model...good-luck...jo'c

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.

Don't confuse the Electric current frequency (60 Hz, which is the freq of the electricity coming from your wall outlet to the TV) and the motion deblurring frequency (240 Hz). The B8000 series is rated at 1920x1080 resolution and 60 Hz electric current frequency. The TV has the technology to refresh its display at 240 Hz (240 frames per second). You received the right TV with the right price. I got mine from ebay authorized Samsung dealer for $2399 minus $192 bing.com cashback and $48 ebay cash back. The specs are the same 1920x1080@60Hz.

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

It's a monitor not a HDTV. There is no refresh rate. Response time is 5ms(GTG), which is somewhat equal to 240HZ refresh rate.

I just purchased a Samsung UN40H5203 - a 60hz refresh. I am enjoying the rich color, but I find that for sports - football and basketball so far - the 60hz can't refresh fast enough to eliminate what seems to be a pixelation where movement is fastest. Otherwise, not issue. Perhaps if I were looking for a TV with a screen as big as the Berlin Wall I'd want the 120hz, but when I bought I saw a $200 difference between otherwise similar Samsung sets. Not worth the difference.

I agree, Tiger Direct has it listed as a 120hz TruMotion as well: LG 47LM4600 47" Class LED 3D HDTV - 1080p, 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 120Hz, 4000000:1, HDMI, USB, 4x 3D Glasses Included, Energy Star. I confirmed it for sure on LG website: http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM4600-led-tv/technical-specifications

Jedi Master: I have the same concern about one of my Samsung TVs. The screen reads 1920x1080i, 60Hz. I'm aware that in the US, all electricity is at 60Hz, so I wonder why Samsung would have made this spec so prominent on the display, when instead it could have put the refresh rate instead. Any ideas?

I have the 70 inch model. I'm not sure about the refresh rate, but the motion of the on screen images is very fluid; more so than smaller TVs I've had. I think that is the LG Trumotion effect. Here's a link that explains it a little more: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130307210110AAVgVXD

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.
