  • i want to buy a 40 inch samsung led,will be used for tv and gaming. Is 60 hz enough?

  • @RevelationGJS It’s really a matter of personal preference. Samsung makes quality panels so even the 60 Hz models should have no motion-blur issues for regular TV and gaming applications. Personally, I prefer at least 120Hz for Blu-Ray movies which helps eliminate the “3:2 pull-down” processing that’s required for film based content on a 60 Hz display.

  • thank you very much. Can i please ask u if u've tested or know anything about the panasonic vierra VT25. It's the 50 inch 3d plasma from panasonic that i am really interested in. Just really need to be sure about it though, since the price tag is still $1600. Thanks for reading and looking forward to hear from u

  • @fezzie666 Sorry, we do not offer the “VT25” series at the moment. I can tell you that the “GT30” series that we do offer is available at a great price and garnering quality reviews. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield

  • What Sony bravos should I get 120hz 3d or 240hz 3d?

  • @Brolyy07 Both are good, but the 240Hz would provide smoother motion (especially for your Blu-ray 3D movies) by producing 120Hz for each eye. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030---Crutchfield

  • this is a very good explanation love it

  • @crutchfieldtv i decided to go with the LED 120 hz model UN40D6000, it's $150 extra. thanks

  • @Brolyy07 You got it. So, if you want the smoother motion of 120Hz in 3D (especially from your 3D Blu-ray movies), you would want to select a model that offers the 240Hz frame rate (120Hz for each eye). Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030---Crutchfield

  • Hey so if I get a 120hz TV would.3d appear as 60hz?
