how do you rate the smooth motion "240hz" performance against other brands
1325384
The only other motion that I can compare this particular television to is the LG 240hz motion and I think the LG does a much better job than this particular Toshiba. I love this television for the price I paid. I spent under $900 for this television and at this point in time I couldn't see spending anymore than I spent on this particular television.

I didn't like it at first as it made most material look like a soap opera. Now that I have gotten used to it I really like it. This TV has no motion lag at all. Its a very good set.

I watch a lot of hyper stuff and I've never had a problem. The only other TV I can compare it to is my smaller LG which is only 120hz. The thing I really love about this TV is that the sound is clear even at very low levels. I watch TV a lot late at night and it's makes a big difference.

I can only comment on the Sanyo brand. Prior to purchasing this TV I had purchased a 55" Sanyo 240hz 6mo prior. I did notice a slight difference from the two. It was almost like motion sickness, not as bad as when I first went from 120hz to 240hz. My first big TV was a Toshiba and it lasted for over 10yrs, and was still working when I gave it to a friend. So far I love this TV and I would recommend buying it. But beware of the Toshiba blu-Ray 3D DVD, that was a P.O.S. I ended up breaking it into little small pieces just to get my DVD out of it. I had problems with it 30 days after purchase and it got worse. I can only comment on the Sanyo brand. Prior to purchasing this TV I had purchased a 55" Sanyo 240hz 6mo prior.

I owe this one and a Sony XBR 32" w/ 120Hz. I find myself preferring the Toshiba; the larger screen does not come with any downside in terms of Colors, brilliance, motion - quality similar to the sony xbr. I am very pleased with the 240Hz solution for this large screen. The smaller Sony does equally well but has the smaller screen. Hope this is helpful somehow.

Friend the frequency of the images is super fast super fluid I'm impressed when I see football games and action movies when I live is like you're there and let me correct you is 360Hz not 120Hz thing is that by panasonic through a new technology makes three panels forming synchronize 120Hz 360Hz in full. I just I have a month with this 55-inch TV is perfect and I have no complaints the contrast is good internet applications Llas everything is great you can play well on this TV and control it easily with my SGS3 beyond belief

I have the UH50EH6000F and on the box it says "Clear motion rate 240 - A new motion clarity measure based on the actual measurement of resolution in a moving scene"

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.

Samsung has its own special 'clear motion rate' that they use to determine the hz level. Other companys do it to with their own wording. Basically in short its like saying....samsungs proprietary image processor provides a smoother and cleaner image than the general old school version or knockoff brand and that being said lends the image to look like its 120hz. When combined with the led backlit technology and the panels 60hz refresh rate its basically equivalent to the modern day 120hz models. I have 4 HDTVs and I can tell you that there is a huge difference between samsung and other brands. This particular tv I have hooked up straight to the cable so I don't even get the luxury's of having crystal clear HDTV you get from having a cable box with HDTV features. I have the brightness turned down all the way to 0 as well lol since its in a bedroom with blacked out curtains. The TV is solid the apps are solid and the fact that samsung is working on an adapter to constantly update the smart features is awesome. The only down side is that this is the start of a new erra. OLED is going to be the norm. Google it for more info but basically your going to get deeper blacks with it because your turning LEDs off not hiding them. For what its worth its an awesome low end smart TV with solid features, images, HDMI! hello-3 i think thats more than my 65" samsung has. Keeping it at 40 inches is a good small-med sized room TV, my recommendation is to get a 46" if you want it for a medium sized room and is you want a living room TV go 55". I regret my 65" purchase - to big. Streatches pixels and makes mediocre cable look terrible because you see every flaw. Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask another question I have no problem providing info/answers to any questions.

Have used it for 3 weeks seen no motion blur. In fact 60hz is preferred if you don't want that soap opera look that can be seen in the new Hobbit film.

It is 120 Hz, but has MotionFlow XR 240 to smooth any blurring of the picture, so its picture is on par with a 240 Hz setup.

I had the same concerns as you regrading Hz. There is a CONSIDERABLE difference that you can notice between 60Hz and 120HZ when watching fast paced movies (fast n furious) or sports. However, there is less of a difference when you move from 120Hz to 240Hz. I've read that the 650B series/model is the same as the 850A series, except the 850A is just somewhat slimmer/thinner. I opt'ed for the 750B because I got a great price from SEARS ($1999.00) and I compared it to Sony's XBR9 series and I liked the Sammy better. Also, I was reading the blogs and although the 850A is a great TV, the majority of comments stated the 750 is the way to go. So you are aware, BB was selling the 850A for $1899.00 on their web-site.

Do some research on the web to find out what a marketing gimmick the 240Hz number is. As I understand it, it does not have to do with the refresh rate but with how fast the pixels can change from black to white and back to black again so the image doesn't smear. That said, I have not observed any smearing on my picture during sports or other fast action images.

The refresh rate is actually (probably, hard to get a definitive answer) 120hz; Samsung uses a technology they call "clear motion" to provide what they consider the equivalent of a 240hz refresh rate. Some other manufacturers do likewise (using either the same or different technology) to claim a larger refresh rate; for example LG calls theirs "TruMotion". The technology is beyond me, but if you'd like more details do a search for "refresh rate", or ask (in a search engine) a question like "what is Clear Motion refresh rate". I know CNET.com does a fairly detailed explanation. Both they and Consumer Reports cautions on taking these claims at face value as in their reviews they say they commonly see some tv's w/lower claimed refresh rates having a better pic (less fast action blur) than other tv's w/higher claimed refresh rates. It sucks, but we're stuck with this goofy arrangement and at the mercy of the manufacturers claims.

I can only comment on the M3D550KD because that's what I own. The price difference is very close, so I consider the price as not a factor. The 240MHZ refresh rate was a big deal for me and I still think it's worth having. The picture is very smooth on DVD's and Blue Ray. HDTV is really nice as well. Standard definition is noticably worse, but I guess that's why they went to HD. The 3D is really cool. I didn't buy the TV for 3D, but it's one of my favorite features now. I've owned it for several months with no problems. Bottom line, if it was stolen off my wall, I'd buy another one to replace it. I can only comment on the M3D550KD because that's what I own.

120Hz, based on the independent assessment here: http://www.rtings.com/info/fake-refresh-rates-samsung-clear-motion-rate-vs-sony-motionflow-vs-lg-trumotion

Well, Mark I'm sitting here wondering the exact same thing. Is 120hz worth it? Matte or shiny? Why is the 4069 scarce in stores? Should I trust Eagle delivery? Should I pay hundreds more to just pick it up at a store? Why is the 4071 $200 more and 4" wider? Or maybe go $300 less with last year's 4065? Sorry I have more questions and no answers.

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.

When I play something like battlefield 3 there is a bit of eye strain after some time. Not sure how much of that is the monitor though rather than the fast movements. The latency is fine. The main thing to note is that this is a 60hz monitor refresh rate. I can see the static dance around slightly more over a monitor that refreshes at 120hz. Though I imagine most wouldn't notice that aspect. For long hours of gaming that may make a big difference when it comes to fatigue. Something to consider.
