A real advantage of a 120Hz and higher refresh rate is to properly display 24p movies. What is a good refresh rate? As said above, the Refresh Rate is mostly a marketing gimmick. While the 120Hz alone is not worth it, it usually come with a better panel, which could have a better response time and produce a better image.Panel refresh rate 60 Hz 120Hz 240Hz +Normal TV or Passive 3D Ok Good GoodWith Active Shutter 3D Invalid Ok Good

Hi Lori, yes the tv refresh rate it's 120Hz, I could not be any more happy with this tv, the quality of the imagines are absolutely awesome it really it's a great buy.

Depends on 2 factors: The graphics card you have (like GTX 700, 800 series or Radeon R9 series) are capable of 4k @ 30hz. However, LG is hiding the refresh rate @ 4k. 120hz is the refresh rate that will go down to ??? when you have it at 4k. Likely it's 30hz anyway, so you should be ok. Btw, HDMI 2.0 is needed for 4k @ 60hz and there's no video card out today with HDMI 2.0 out.

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

It seems that Amazon has changed it back to 120 Hz, now can someone tell me what the actual refresh rate is?

Then what does it mean when a blu-ray player is input through HDMI and it says 24Hz? Then when I hooked the same BD player through my receiver (new Pioneer Elite) it's back to 60Hz. Never have seen 120 Hz.

Not an expert, but I believe the refresh rate was increased to 120HZ to get better resolution to the screen. If you go to 3D, from what I see, is engineered to 240HZ, and show even better resolution. So, I think it's something that's engineered into TVs, and is reflected by the various pricing.

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.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have purchased 2 Samsung LED, 1080p televisions and am very happy with both. I purchased my 55" locally (60mhz) locally and my 50" (120mhz) through Amazon. I had my 55" mounted to my wall and I purchased my wall-mount kit through Amazon and did far better on price than I could locally. Both tv's are working beautifully and, since I needed no mounting for the tv through Amazon, set-up was a breeze. My tv came in perfect condition and remains so. The price was the very best available at the time I bought it. It beat all local store's prices and arrived really fast. Zero problems. Hope this helps. I'm not sure what you're asking.

no I am getting refresh rates of 1080p at 60 Hz, using Time Warner with 720p/60HZ, Cable will only downgrade the refresh when you are going to 4K from 1080p/60Hz

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

Good question. One thing you might want to consider is what I just found out yesterday... a salesman showed me what happens when you watch a standard def. digital broadcast on a top-of-the-line Sony LCD with 120hz compared with the Samsung 40A650. Wow, what a difference! Nobody ever mentions what standard def. looks like on these 1080p LCD sets. The Sony was terrible, the Samsung was fine. It's the pixelation of edges during movement problem. I guess the 120hz motion control only works in HD mode on most sets (that's what the saleman said), while Samsung's works in standard mode, too. So, go to a store that will show you what the picture looks like on the 46A550 in standard def mode. I would also want to compare the contrast ratio between the 2 sets, as the 40A650's is pretty hard to beat.

This is a native120hz panel that uses "scanning backlight" tech to achieve 240hz.. It doesn't matter what signal you feed it, it will still output a 240hz rendering. The 60hz you see in the top right info bar is simply the frequency/frame rate from your NTSC broadcast from your cable box/DVR or over the air signal. IN England it would say 50hz. All that aside, pay no attention to the top info bar if this has you worried. If you play a Blu Ray, it will say 1080p24 (assuming you have your Blu Ray sending your TV 1080p/24) This is really nothing you need to concern yourself with. The info bar ONLY displays the signal you are feeding the TV and NOT what the TV is putting out. The TV will ALWAYS put out a 1080p signal at either 60hz, 50hz or 24fps depending on your source. The 240hz is the screens REFRESH RATE and has nothing to do with the input or output signal. TO understand this further you can find useful info on both Wikipedia and the AVS forum among other places. Do not worry, this TV IS 240hz (120hz with scanning back light doubling what you see) Cheers! Marty G

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.

Double check your settings on the monitor. Mine didn't come with DisplayPort 1.2 enabled by default. You may be getting a 30 Hz refresh rate. Similarly, if you're using HDMI and not DisplayPort, you'll be stuck on 30 Hz not 60 Hz. I just turned mine way down and didn't notice any flicker.
