why doesn't this tv come in a 240Hz version? this is a 65'' tv and it seems to me that there would be a ton of blurring at only 120Hz, does it blur a lot or not?

Question

Samsung · Accepted Answer

The picture is very smooth, and especially when you factor in 4x the resolution. To quadruple the resolution, and then multiply that by 240Hz is a very tall order. The technology will get there, but right now, it isn't.

That said, Samsung rates this model's Clear Motion Rate - our own standard of picture quality - at a CMR rating 960. Our sets this year range from 120 CMR to 1200 CMR.

Clear Motion Rate takes into account not only the panels refresh rate, but also the processing (which is just as important for picture clarity and conversion), as well as the light engine. While most people look at "panel specs", the bigger story are the three major components that make up the picture quality.

And it goes the other way: You could have a 240Hz panel, but with a substandard processing chip found in lesser known brands and a cheap lighting system, you're not going to get the same picture as a Samsung with 120hz, processing data and a good light system.

Our 4K panel really does look pretty great. But ultimately, it's up to you to determine if the value is there. We think it is.

Thanks for considering Samsung products. If we can help further, please reach out and let us know how we can help.

You can not see anything faster that 120. 240 is just a sales ploy.
