“Is there really a difference between 60hz and 120Hz refresh rate and motion rates I have read many articles lately stating that the refresh rates advertised by different companies i.e LG, sony, samsung, that there is not really a difference between the 60 HZ and 120 HZ along with motion rate. Is this true as I am looking to upgrade to a smart TV soon.”

Yes, there is a difference. You want a 120Hz or better. I read a lot of articles and compare TVs and their is no comparison.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The short answer is yes there is a difference. Between 60 and 120hz there is definitely a noticeable difference. Whether you like this or not, is preference. Basically it creates smooth viewing for fast paced scenes. Some people don't like this, it does create a little bit of a Soap Opera look, everything looks so clean and polished. Also, for my TV I noticed the higher the refresh rate, the worse it got in terms of lag. It's hard to explain, but for certain really fast paced sequences, I notice a weird lag/waviness. It was very annoying. I noticed it even more during gaming. But be advised, there is such a thing as native refresh rate and software enhanced refresh rate. Usually a TV, I've seen Samsung and Sony do this, will advertise on their box a refresh rate of 120hz. That means that it's actually a 60hz and through their own software technology, they make it 120hz. So in order to get a native 120hz, the box should say 240hz. Generally the software doubles the native refresh rate.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe there is a big difference. Just watch a sports game like Football. The crowd is crystal clear as the player is running down the field. Using 60hrz, kinda fuzzy. Tha goes for action movies also with back ground effects.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, Motion rate differes between 60 & 120HZ but you can identify with your naked eye only if you are watching some sports channel and playing videos games like PS3 or XBOX otherwise i haven't noticed such difference.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 120 Motion Rate feature, compared to a 60 Motion Rate feature, inserts frames and does real-time processing for the picture. Some people really like the processing, others like varying degrees (it is adjustable with several options on Samsung models), and others are happy without it. Does it make the picture smoother? Most people think so. Get opinions and see for yourself to make sure you're getting what's best for you. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
