Which is better 60 or 120 HZ?

120hz is the Clear Motion Rate, which provides better picture quality for rapid action such as sports.

It's the scan speed of the TV Picture. For the human eye not to detect flicker a scan speed of 60 Hz is minimum, but a 120 Hz scan is better for fast action events and 240 Hz is even better and needed for 3D TVs.(2 pics Tx at a time right and left view)

60hz-20kHz is a wider range then 130hz-20khz. I wouldn't run these any lower then 100hz though. These are great for surround sound speakers but not for full range. The lower frequencies are there but much better when paired to a subwoofer.

Excellent question! My invoice (purchased late Jan.) also states 120Hz, but I just looked on the back of my set and it clearly indicates 60Hz. Interesting.

You are say the 5271 does not have "true" 120Hz technology. What does that mean?Does the new A650 have "true" 120Hz technology or do I have to get a different brand?

It depends on how you feel about 120 Hz refresh rate. There may be other minor details (connectivity, for example), but the main difference is the 60 to 120 Hz upgrade. For cable TV this doesn't matter, since video is shot in 30 fps (which divides evenly into 60 Hz); it may look smoother, but that's just the software interpolation effect. HOWEVER, if you are a movie buff with lots of Blu-Ray discs, it may be worth it. That's because movies are shot in 24 fps. Since 24 doesn't divide evenly into 60 Hz, the movie has to be converted by what's called 3:2 pull down, where frames are displayed for uneven times. This makes movies look less smooth on TVs and is likely what you are completely used to in your home (as opposed to the theater). By contrast, 24 fps divides evenly into 120 Hz, so movies display on the LN40B630 in the true frame-for-frame as they would appear in a movie theater (well, sort of; reality is much more complex but that's beyond what you need to know for TV purchasing). Many people are so unused to seeing movies "correctly" on a television that they find the effect almost disturbingly smooth, like a soap opera. But for A/V purists the resulting lack of judder, blur, etc. is what it's all about-crystal clear picture, the way it was originally shot and meant to be seen, like in the theater. NOTE that this means turning OFF Samsung's Auto Motion Plus ("AMP") setting, which uses software to blend frames together; most reviews seem to indicate that that goes *too* far in making things weirdly smooth. I personally opted to buy the 630 over the 530 just a few hours ago. It was a tough decision but I decided I didn't want to compromise on my primary (and only) TV. Good luck deciding! PS-you may want to go to a store with demo TVs and ask to see a 60Hz vs 120Hz demonstration; if so, emphasize that you want to see the difference with both 24p source material and with normal broadcast 30 fps material. And with AMP turned off. That's the best way to decide, see for yourself.

Just to add, 240Hz doesn't mean it will have that weird Soap Opera Effect, that is just the way some big brands process their video with 120Hz and up sets... this one seems very smooth without that lousy effect, I love it!

Well, doesn't work for me at 120 :).. however the box says the "Input = 100-240V 50/60Hz"

Hi, I don't know for 60 Hz, but it's working for 50 Hz in an european country with a small adapter to support the 230 V :-)Otherwise this product is working flawlessly, I'm very happy with it !

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

Watching sports on this tv sucks for me. But that is just my opinion. I think that the 120HZ would be prolly be better.

If you mean what is the difference between 60hz and 120hz, it is a refresh rate(speed) that changes the blacks to whites and back again to provde for a smoother motion especially when watching sports. The higher the number the better. 240hz being the highest true refresh rate. If you see 600hz in a plasma it is not a true refresh rate number. It is 60 hz flashed 10 times a sec.

Wow what a well worded question! 60Hz is passive 3d 120 & 240 would be active shutter I would think. If you are wanting a real 3d tv this isn't it

I don't have this bluray player but I am buying it for my mother as a Christmas gift. Bluray Players are all 1080p24, or 24 Hz, so there is absolutely no point in having the player send a "120 Hz" signal. The 120hz is to be set on your TV ( I have a 40" 120Hz Samsung and a 240Hz Samsung TV. All the settings on my Bluray, Laptop and desktop computers are all set to 24hz which is the native resolution for the film. You will always get a clean picture setting your Bluray to 24hz as apposed to 60hz. The 120hz is refers to the refresh rate of the TV screen not the Bluray Player. Technically a 120Hz or 240Hz TV should also perform well with 30Hz video material and 60Hz video material, but 24Hz is the Holy Grail of film reproduction. Neither the Blu-ray player or the TV has to perform any special processing (read 3:2 pulldown) to display the image at the panel's native refresh rate. This creates an amazingly natural and filmlike experience at home, on an LCD panel. If your TV has any kind of special motion smoothing features associated with the 120Hz (such as AutoMotion Plus from Samsung), I recommend turning it OFF (if possible) when you watch movies for the most film-like experience. This type of smoothing performs best of sports programming and some other video-based sources. I hope this helps.

It may be listed as 60Hz but I'm quite sure it is 120Hz because it has the sopa opera effect (that only occurs in sets with 120Hz or higher)

This unit goes either way . its 50/60hz. good luck. one the best I ever purchased for the price compared to high end ones.
