“Refresh rate? So it tells you it has 120 frame rate, but right above that it says it has 60hz. So which is it? 60 or 120?”

The TV is 60Hz. The 120Hz actually refers to the CMR (Clear Motion Rate) which is a propriety term used by Samsung (every manufacturer has their own specific term for this). The TV panel itself is 60Hz, and the 120Hz CMR is a setting on the TV that uses backlight scanning and the TV's processor to give a pseudo-refresh rate of 120Hz, which is supposed to help improve the appearance of fast moving scenes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I know what you mean. The TV I have is 120 MHz. 60 MHz units are significantly less expensive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This TV is a 60Hz. The 120 is the clear motion rate, which is a number made up of the refresh rate (60Hz), image proccessing speed and the backight ability the tv has.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Almost no TV is faster than 60hz. When a manufacturer advertises 120 frame rate or 240 frame rate, it is still a 60hz TV. The manufacturer duplicates images to produce higher frame rates, but this is not the same thing as producing a 120hz tv. "The increased refresh rate (120Hz and higher) was introduced by manufacturers as an indirect way to reduce the motion blur problem of LCDs and LEDs. However, the response time of 120Hz and 240Hz TVs is usually the same as 60Hz ones. Do not look at the refresh rate of a TV." - http://www.rtings.com/info/what-is-the-refresh-rate
