:upsetfavre:This is what the description says
  • 120Hz Clear Motion Rate (CMR); maintains image clarity during action-packed scenes
:manny:

Screen Refresh Rate: 60Hz


under specifications tab. I think CMR is different. i remember reading about it when i was shopping for my tv.

A refresh rate is how many times per second the image can change on the screen. A higher refresh rate basically means that when the scene moves fast, you will see less motion blur.

The Clear Motion Rate metric was invented by Samsung (some says only for a marketing gimmick), to represent better the clarity of movement. The refresh rate alone isn't sufficient to represent the motion blur, so on top of it they added the image processor rate as well as the backlight speed. While it is true that the refresh rate alone isn't sufficient to qualify motion blur, Samsung is often misleading because it will sometimes only display the CMR instead of the real refresh rate of the panel. This makes it a lot more confusing when comparing TVs across brand, where you better compare the real refresh rate.

A 120Hz CMR is not equal to 120Hz of refresh rate. A 120Hz CMR will most probably have a 60Hz panel. Which means that if you compare a TV that has a 120Hz of real refresh rate vs a 120Hz CMR, the real 120Hz is most likely better.

That's the TV I'm getting next month. Heard it was really good for gaming because of low input lag.

Misunderstand fps brehs
How am I misunderstanding fps? Blu-rays movies are in 24 fps, but this can't be natively rendered with a 60 hz television. You get very shaky pans and weird motion judder during fast moving action. Only true 120 hz can evenly divide the frames into 24 fps. This makes the movie more cinema like and eliminates that aforementioned judder. Misunderstand FPS brehs :camby:

I don't disagree with the point...but no one is watching movies in 60fps

:wtf: Almost everyone is. Only videophiles and cinephiles watch movies in 1080p/24. Most people don't know what that film mode setting on their TV does/.
