Did they fix the 120mhz when i jad got this tv from bestbuys it didnt have that smooth buttery motion like the soap opera effect which i really like

Hey.. no it does not have the soap opera effect. The 120 does clean up motion smearing, as you can easily see the improvement on moving text. I don't like the soap opera effect on film sources,so, I am glad it does not do that.

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.

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)

This TV has a 60Hz refresh rate. I compared this Samsung LN32B550 with the LG model you mention and I found both are good. However, the colors were more vibrant in the Samsung and there was a 'pop' in the colors. The LG was a little more subdued and not as vivid. Also, I don't recall if the LG swivels or not like the Samsung. If you need more dynamic colors, a punch in the Picture quality, go with the samsung. For me, the 120Hz did nothing to convince me its better than the 60Hz. I really could not tell any difference. People swear there is one, but I cannot tell. They had a demo signal going to all TV's with the 120Hz benefits and you cannot even tell any difference there. Theoretically, the 120Hz should be more cleaner/sharper in fast moving images. But fast moving images are well....fast so you only see them for split seconds. Not much of a difference then since how much can you absorb in that split second ? Video gaming should benefit but again, I don't see any significant improvement here. The 2ms response time is useful for video gaming as it will eliminate ghosting ( i.e. trailing images ) but Samsung's 6ms is good enough. Ideally, anything less than 15-20ms and you're good for video gaming from my experience with LCD refresh rates. Go to your local Best Buy and check it out first. Buy from Amazon if the price is lower, else buy from BestBuy with warranty and all. As is, BB now has no restocking fee when you return a product.

I have the 55" LM6700 not the 47" but I have noticed that it does appear to be 60hz instead of the advertised 120hz. This doesn't bother me too much because I dislike the way 120 hz. looks. TruMotion is horrible.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

James, Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou! I just got my Samsung 52" 650 series tv home a few hours ago. I was so exsited about getting it up and running. When I experienced this Soap Opera Effect I froze and prayed this was not for real. You are awesome. Thanks for your solution of turning off the AUTO MOTION PLUS 120HZ. -Allen

The refresh rate of 120 hz is for the benefit of this TV's 3D function. Otherwise, according to this article, higher refresh rates don't make sense.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp update: I found this Samsung article on their Clear Motion function. http://www.samsung.com/us/article/clear-motion-rate-a-new-standard-for-motion-clarity

Greg, I am also watching the Olympics on Comcast HD and not experiencing a lot of the pixelation you mention, mostly during the fastest figure skating spins, and camera moves on other sports. In fact, I am blown away with the picture on this event. I have not changed my 120-Hz (whatever its called) setting from the factory preset, and it would be the only thing I suggest looking at. I also have the picture set on "Movie" mode, the others presets are just too saturated, bubble-gum colors... though I doubt that makes a difference. Hope you can resolve this.

The problem is not the 120HZ refresh, but with the AMP turned on.AMP is the cause of so called "Soap Opera Effect".Moxcey, go into your Samsung TV menu, and scroll down to Picture Settings. Turn AMP to Low, or Off, and you'll see a huge difference.Enjoy.

Higher Hz, a newer model, 3-D and the reviews of the 553sv mentoned Blooming. I was hoping that Vizio worked out this kink.

I just turned my blu ray player from 60Hz to 24Hz and the motion is more smooth in 3d surprisingly. Without this setting the motion was very blur and uneasy on eyes. My TV is 120Hz, it is LG 47LW5300 and the blu ray player is LG BD645. Thanks Jaeckel, I was thinking of returning the tv and player untill I set this option.

It is 60 hz but many Samsungs including this one have a internal upgrade making the TV have 120 HZ ability.

Samsung uses their own "Rating" for their TVs. This TV is a Samsung 120 CMR which translates roughly to 60Hz. I believe someone at Amazon saw 120 and assumed it was Hz not CMR

I also have this TV. Take magic remote and move all the way to top of screen and it will inform you it is 60hz. I have wondered why. I also think this is the best tv out there. The colors and 3d,or 2d to 3d is awesome.
