“How come Samsung doesn't list the htz for the ultra 4k TV's There is talk that for a 3d Ultra 4k TV that is 55" and certainly larger than that, you need to have the bump up from 120htz refresh rate to 240htz. Nowhere does Samsung discuss this. The other Samsung TV's listed that are smaller mention the CMR and the Htz measurement. Why can't I get a clear cut answer? Is it because Samsung is not up to dealing with building a TV with a higher htz rate on their ultra 4k 3d/or not 3d TV's? Other manufacturers do list it. What is the refresh rate on the Samsung 8500 or 8550 3d Ultra 4k TV? I can't get a straight answer from anything I read. Buying a TV like this at this kind of pricepoint is not an annual even for me to spend money on. It's important not to make a mistake and buy something now. If it will be something that is built later in the year I can wait instead of buying something that is not ready yet.”

I bought the 65" 8550 model UHD TV and it is indeed 120Hz refresh. The CMR is 1200 and I have not noticed any blurring as to refer that it should be a 240Hz instead of a 120Hz. I watch a lot of sports on it and I can say I am totally satisfied with the picture quality.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it deals with the motion under fast moving scenes. the 8550 shows no problems with anything I have watched, its a great picture in all types of video. I also have a 1080p samsung that is 240 hz. both are great. ther cmr of th 1080p is 960, the 8550 is 1200 or greater.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The HU8550/8500 refresh rate is 120Hz.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Many 240Hz TVs are not really 240Hz and some so called 120Hz TVs are really 60HZ. Instead, they use video processing to cut down on the motion blur and they then assign a number to it. Samsung calls their video processing Clear Motion Rate. LG calls it TruMotion and Sharp calls it AquaMotion The UN65HU8550 is actually a 120Hz TV but it's CMR is 1200 (a made up number) to indicate that it uses video processing and LED back lighting to decrease the motion blur. The problem I've noticed is that this causes the "Soap Opera Effect", which is undesirable to many people. I haven't had a chance to look at a true 240Hz TV so I don't know if it also has the "Soap Opera Effect" or if this is just a byproduct of the video processing. I turned CMR off becuase it is annoying to me. CNET has a great article, which explains how CMR works and the soap opera effect. http://www.cnet.com/news/fake-refresh-rates-is-your-tv-really-120hz/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 55' & the 65" have 120Hz I don't thing it have a 240Hz
