Hey guys,

I am trying to lock in a black friday deal for a 60" UHD (not SUHD). I came close to getting a 2015 Samsung, which has a black friday sale from $999 down to $699. But it shows a motion rate of 120 (60hz true). Regardless of strong reviews, friends said to stay away, since the refresh rate could provide some judder effects when watching movies and sports. https://www.theblackfriday.com/Samsu...3DO-/40569.htm

Is this true? If so, can anyone recommend a good value TV with 240 Hz (must be 60" for custom cab), under $1,000? Dont need all of the bells and whistles, or SUHD, UHD is fine.

Thanks!

True?

But that's the idea (or, at least, the marketing idea). The higher the motion capture rate, the less 'blurriness' in fast motion scenes.

i always turn off 120 hertz any way.
soap opera effect isnt my cup of tea

or put it on the lowest setting, if not available to turn off

Thanks. Now I am a bit confused. You turn off 120hz, so your TV is running on 60hz? That makes me think that 120HZ could be preferred over 240HZ.

Higher refresh rate is mostly attractive for gamers, and ones playing high end hi resolution fast paced games.

60/120/240 can be BS'ed by manufacturers.

Focus more on real life reviews since you don't care about bells and whistles. Honestly nowadays 4k TV's it's all about HDR vs real HDR and you'd have to go with a high end TV which you don't care about. I'm still rocking a plasma from 4 years ago that I'm perfectly fine with. Check slickdeals

Unless you're going OLED, you want to look at true refresh rate. Anything higher than is an interpolated frame (or repeated) and that's what causes the soap opera effect.

so, basically what we're saying is the TV you are looking at is fine

Good article on buying a 4k TV and not getting screwed. (You're probably better off waiting)
