This TV is advertised EVERYWHERE (as in there isn't a SINGLE place where this TV is advertised that DOESN'T say that...) as having a simulated 120HZ CMI refresh rate - which means it is NOT effective frame rate and is effectively 60Hz with a simulated 120Hz experience. I can confirm this as my model: TCL 50" 50S525 from less than a month ago is being used as an additional extended Monitor and while my Laptop has a 120Hz refresh rate i can manipulate, this TV ONLY has a 60Hz refresh rate option. There is no option to run it in 120Hz because its just simulating 120Hz on a 60Hz TV. My concern is that there is NO option on the TV itself (Picture setting or anywhere else) or the Roku Mobile App to adjust this - as in turn it off, low, etc. - Since an option for it's adjustment cannot even be found and it is definitely NOT 120Hz EFFECTIVE refresh rate (as someone in the support section said it was - they are wrong) I'd like to know if the action smoothing or motion clarity or CMI Index or w/e they want to to call it option that simulates 120Hz is built in (as in not adjustable) or if it even has it - cause the advertising (literally EVERYWHERE, just google the model number and take your pick of ANY result on any store or TCL's own website) says that it's 120 CMI refresh, but its def NOT 120 effective as my laptop can't select anything higher than 60Hz for it...would love some input on if its built in, or was the option to adjust taken away like the Sharpness as Monitors being grayed out
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This TCL Roku TV has an effective refresh rate of 120Hz CMI. Within each TV series there are different sizes and models available. These models can have differences in their physical/cosmetic design or remote controls. However, most features and capabilities remain the same. The 50 inch model does not feature the action smoothing or natural cinema settings. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
