Samsung 60hz/120hz/240hz Scott Birnbaum What is new-How do I get blur out of motion

[Elte156]

@AdvanceReconGamer

you can't because it runs at 3.2 Ghz

[eatvids]

To FIX the "soap opera effect" on 120hz TV. Change the settings for "AUTO MOTION PLUS" to CLEAR.. and you get clear picture without the jittery soap opera picture. :)

[dmn1n]

interpolation... good for movies, not for games..

[f3lip3xd]

CRT 1xx Hz FTW!!! Plasma FTW!!!! but ... CRT PLASMA KILL Ecology x.O

[bever49]

DON'T LET SHAMSUNG SHAMYOU !

[pointnozzleaway]

my new Samsung 52" is also showing only 60hz ?

i guess a call to Samsung is in order

[maltyful]

Before you buy any samsung tv put SAMSUNG TV CLICKING into a google search to read why THOUSANDS of samsung customers are screwed and pissed off.

[swiftblaqness]

my tv has 120Hz but cant seem to acrtivate it, it always says its running 1920x1080 @60Hz, :(

[DrRosenpenis]

Same thing here.. just bought a nice new Samsung 55" 120hz TV and am trying to figure this exact thing out. No luck yet.

[xxsekoxx]

@swiftblaqness If your TV is 120HZ then it is always at that. It says 1080i or 1080 @ 60hz because that's whats coming from the source. Cable/satellite/movie.. etc etc but you are still getting 120 HZ.

[Sk8bordr125]

@xxsekoxx what about playstation..... if i play blu rays on my playstation then will they always be 60hz or is it based on the disc....if the disc can be played at 120 or not

[xxsekoxx]

@Sk8bordr125 That is a question that will take some research. Because your right, it does say 60hz. I am pretty sure though what i previously said is true. My TV now is 240hz and i can change the hertz on it depending if i am watching sports or movies, etc. And i notice a big difference when i change it around.

[QUIKKSTAR]

@xxsekoxx What difference do you notice from 60hz, 120hz, and 240hz? What do hz do watch sports, cable, movies, and video games in?

[xxsekoxx]

@QUIKKSTAR Big difference. I watch sports on the highest settings so there is no motion blur at all. Movies i usually watch at a lower setting because if its at 240 you get the ' soap opera ' effect. Everything looks really weird. The settings are labled at clear, smooth, fast and something else. When i play games i turn the TV on ' Game mode " which i think is at low hertz. If i dont change to game mode its completely different. So sports the highest setting, moves/cable in the middle.

[QUIKKSTAR]

@xxsekoxx Thanks for your knowledgeable reply! Glad you have expertise because I will be purchasing my first LCD soon (coming from a DLP that went out). Is 240hz and 480hz really that necessary? I understand that LCD/LED's are trying to keep up with 600hz *sub field* plasmas, but doesn't the cranked up Hz just make everything look weird with artifacts? I have a friend who has LG 47" 1080p 60hz and while not sure about sports, but I witnessed PS3 gaming, HD cable, blurays with no noticeable blur.

[xxsekoxx]

@QUIKKSTAR Your right, Plasmas are around 600hz but they dont get the soap opera effect and i'm not sure why. My other tv is a lcd at 120 and it works fine. The only time i see blur is during sports like watching football. I havent noticed any artifacts. I would say that 240 is neccesary during sports but thats about it. Like i said, watching movies and cable i dont have it up to 240 and i dont notice any motion blur. I would worry more about buying a high end, name brand TV.

[QUIKKSTAR]

@xxsekoxx When you say you only "see blur is doing sports", is that on your 120hz set cranked up at 120hz, or at 60hz? Yeah its amazing how plasma don't get the "soap opera effect", but they do have other cons with "burn ins" and stuff. Plus plasma technology isn't much of an option for me due to my bright ass apartment in a high-rise building, and I already own enough mirrors in the house. I was only going to go with LG, Sony, Samsung, or Sharp as far as LCD. And LG is high end for sure.

[xxsekoxx]

@QUIKKSTAR Its if its at low settings, even at 120hz. It's fine at 240 though. Yeah plasma is old technology, you do get great blacks though. I would go for the new Samsung i think its the new edgeless 8000 model. I have the older molder 55" and its great. The new edgeless is amazing and its backlit so you dont get as much color leak.

[QUIKKSTAR]

@xxsekoxx Yes I seen the new transparent edged Samsungs and they are quite sexy. The plasmas are 2 inches thin too. Which exact models do you have? The only reason why I would considered Samsung lastly LCD wise, is because they have a boatload of complaints online, mostly saying they go out right after warranty and are #1 in returned HD television sets, even worst than VIZIO but I think Samsung may have the best blacks on LCD or LED. Panasonic from what I witnessed, have best plasma colors.

[xxsekoxx]

@QUIKKSTAR I have the un55b8000. Ive had it over a year so far with no issues at all. The only thing that is annoying the is the " flash light ' look. Which is just color leak. I dont think the new ones have this issue because they are back lit. And your right about there being a lot of talk about them dying after 1 year. I think thats mostly garbage, people getting to caught up in it. It is a fact that Samsung and Sharp make the best TV's.

[QUIKKSTAR]

@xxsekoxx Yeah that model you have is nice. Love the silver base. Yeah LED's have came a long way since then, like the Samsung UND8000 LED is probably the sexiest TV I've seen in 2011. Do you plan on upgrading? Yeah my friend has a Insignia LED 46" and he says the #1 obvious con about it is the backlight bleeding, and he can see it in dark scenes on the corners. Yeah Sharp makes the sturdiest sets, I love Sharp! I love the picture on the Sony, but Sony LCD's are wayyy to thick and heavy.

[MrSolidsid]

@swiftblaqness i have same problem weird



[ZaquiNirvana]

Damn.. I have a 46 inch LCD Sharp Aquos, 60 Hz.. I I still go to the store and drool over the 120 Hz's.. I wish this tecnology was upgradable.. Like a computer.. buying more Hz for my TV rather than buying a new one...

[BigNickontheDrum]

until there is a 120hz source, i'm not interested.

if the TV is interpolating frames, that means there is some delay because it has to receive both frames, then insert the frame. not such a big deal for watching television, although I think it alters the picture too much. films broadcast on TV suddenly look like they were shot at something much higher than 24fps which tends to ruin the effect for me, and others i can imagine

[vendetta89]

@BigNickontheDrum - I fully agree. I think that people seem to forget that the TV doing this effect is an artificial way of creating smoothness but it's meant to be like that because the native source wasn't meant to be seen like that. You're right when there is a 120HZ source it would make sense. However, when watching Blu-Ray's leaves me a little curious about the differences seen in 60Hz & 120 and if they do matter.

[nintendowiids12]

Panasonic New 600hz TVs PWNS it all
