Refresh Rate? Amazon clams 120hz but manual states that it is only 60hz does anyone know what it is?

Amazon is wrong. Other sites has this @ 60. If you do a search on the LCD it will say 60Hz

Take a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6792632-1.html as it explains there's a lot more to the 120Hz TVs than just the 120Hz. The real change is in the anti-judder feature which is a personal preference issue. The article is 1.5 yrs old but worth a read.

That is seen with TV's with at least 120Hz refresh rate, this is only 60Hz, so no. Some people don't like it, I actually like it very much, it gives a more realistic look

It really depends. Nowadays, there are TV manufacturers which releases 120Hz TV. Means that the refresh rate is double compared to the 60Hz. The real difference or he most noticeable between the two is when watching fast action like sports or car racing on HD. Watching non-HD broadcast, under 60Hz images are just the same with 120Hz. Bottomline depending on your eyes/brain that can handle images that will look much better, maybe worse or basically no difference at all. Hope this helps. -Ely

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 was going to buy it for PC gaming but wont if Hz cant adjust. Isnt it true that all new LED TVs can auto set to whatever the games fps (60 or 120Hz) is?

This TV is not 120hz. Lg seems to have put incorrect info out that is slowly being corrected by resalers. If you notice amazon now has this listed as a 60hz TV. As a new owner of this TV I think a class action lawsuit against lg is coming. I am very upset at being lied to

The only thing you can bank on is that the true refresh rate is 120, twice the 60 rate on some models that I've seen, that were still decent TV's. In the settings on the TV you can turn on an option "Clear Motion Refresh (CLR)" which Samsung claims will simulate a refresh rate of 240. As with all smoke and mirrors, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I haven't found any issues with blurring during fast action sequences and I don't even have the CLR option turned on. The CLR can produce a "soap opera" like effect. After owning this TV for a year, my only remorse was not buying an 80" set. Bigger always seems better, although I have friends with the Samsung UN55ES8000 55" 3D model and they love those TV's, too. If you're patient, you could find one of those sets for $1500 on the web. The best new price I've seen for the UN65EH6000 has been $1299 at BrandSmart.

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.

No clue. I bought the 46" version and it is 60Hz only. The 55" apparently is 120Hz, at least according to the specs. I doubt the refresh rate is selectable

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

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.

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz

All LG models are 60Hz Native refresh rate. Then different models have software that simulate higher refresh rate (120, 240, but it is nor real). Spurce: LG website

The panel refreshes at 120hz you can't turn it on/off. When you see "60hz" on the screen it's because that's what the source is, so far there are no 120hz sources.

It is 60hz. I can certainly understand your confusion. Please, read the rest of the responses for more info. SonyStyle was very disappointly and cleverly not very clear about this feature in this tv, which is unfortunate for a company of its stature.

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.
