Should I get a 60 hertz TV or a 120 hertz TV?

It seems like 120 hertz TV are twice the price, but is it really worth it?


Answer
OLED > Plasma > LED > LCD. (LED is a upgrade from LCD, a LED is a LCD tv, but with LED back and/or edge lights which improves many things and make it almost as good as Plasma = Don't even consider LCD).
- Plasma has the best picture and sound quality. Plasma has no motion blur problems. You should know that all tv's have burn in problems, newer plasma's fixed their burn in issues with burn in technologies like pixel shifting/scrolling.ect, you still don't want to leave static images on it for long periods of time (to be safe put the white scrolling on for a few minutes before/after using if your that worried). Plasma has improved screen glare problems, but they still kinda glare and don't do to well in bright rooms while LED is good for bright rooms. Newer plasma's are more energy efficient, but LED can still beat them by a little. Plasma is usually cheaper to buy, but more expensive to make while LED's are more expensive to buy, but more cheaper to make LED is more thinner and environment friendly to make and also LED tend to last longer then plasmas.
- I recommend at least 40 inches or more and at least 1920x1080p, if it's 30-40 inches I would still go with 1080, but if it's under 30 inches just go with 1280x720p.

Brands that I like the most and probably from best to least:
- Top brands = Panasonic (Plasma), Samsung (LED), LG (LED), Sony (LED). - Top off brands for LED = Vizio, Toshiba, Phillips.

Do not even consider 60 hz, you will get judder/jittery screen and motion blur. You want at least 120 hz or I recommend 240 hz for LED/LCD. I recommend 600 hz or more for plasma.

FPS = frames per second (of a video).
- Frame rate is how many individual images are displayed in a second. Think of a video as a fast moving flip book.
- NTSC tv broadcasting countries use 30p or 60i fps. or PAL tv broadcasting countries use 24p/25p or 50i fps. Movies for most/all countries use 24p fps, movies are soon to be up to 48p fps (tv may have a cinematic effect which doubles the fps of a video).

Hz = refresh rate (of a tv).
- Example: A tv with a 120hz refresh rate, meaning it refreshes the entire tv screen 120 times a second. Read the below on how the fps of a video works with the refresh rate of a tv.

How LED tv (aka a LCD tv with LED backlights) or LCD tv refresh rates work?
- LED backlights are faster and use less energy consumption than LCD backlights. Both tv's use backlight scanning.

- Many tv's allow viewers to use motion interpolation frames and they are what cause gamer lag and the soap opera effect by creating more fake frames (higher fps) in between the real frames to match the refresh rate of a tv.
- The soap opera effect is when the video looks too life/unrealistic like due the really high frame rates and sceneries may look fake looking.
- Names of motion enhancement technologies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_inteâ¦

- Many tv's allow viewers to turn off interpolation and force the television to repeat the same frame a number of times to match the refresh rate of a tv.
- Example: To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.

But what happens if the fps of a video does not divide into the refresh rate of a tv equally? = Then you get a a pulldown.
- A pulldown is what causes a jittery screen also known as judder and that's because it repeats the odd frames a different number of times it repeats the even frames of a video. The ratio of the pulldown will depend on the refresh rate of the tv.
- Example: A 3:2 pulldown is most popular because it is needed to match a 24p fps of a video with a 60 hz refresh rate of a tv. = 12 odd frames times 3 is 36 frames and 12 even frames times 2 is 24 frames and 36 frames plus 24 frames = 60 frames for a 60 hz refresh rate of a tv.

What happens if those fps into hz processions cause lag when your playing a video game on a bad tv? (motion interpolation frames is what vendor mainly cause lag).
- Game mode turns off the vendor processors which are one cause of lag when your playing video games, but that means the refresh rate will match the fps of a video which means you then might get motion blur because of the really low refresh rate the tv is running at.

How does a Plasma tv refresh rate work? (plasma also have faster response times to change from one frame to the next btw).
- 600hz = is the total of the refresh rate multiplied by the pixel sub fields = just a marketing term.
- Example: 60hz refresh rate x 10 pixel sub fields = 600hz (or 600hz / 60hz = 10 pixel sub fields). = A plasma tv creates 10 dark images that your brain combines into one full-brightness image 60 times = think of it like interpolation pixels.
= Plasma has no motion blur problems (as long as the fps and sub fields are high) = plasma does not use motion interpolation frames which means no soap opera effect or no gamer lag.

What does everyone think of this tv compared to the other? Why or why not ?

I like Samsung a lot & that's what I have 2 others of that I love but the plasma's aren't made the same way they were 4 yrs ago. So I been debating over the Samsung es6100 slim led smart tv open box but just returned for $635 out the door tax included & many others. Well I was a lil unsure I would use all the options of a smart tv cause it was a bedroom tv purchase & hubby watches more in there then I do & I heard off reviews that the apps like to freeze up so I figured its just more things that can go wrong with the tv & if things change like they always do then my tv is outdated as well. So I went today & bought the lg led ls45 47"slim tv & so far it looks pretty good cause I was looking for something brighter since I keep my room dark. So question is does anyone have this tv or an lg led tv & any problems with it, or how long has it lasted so far & do you like why or why not ????? Also if any problems how is their customer service team ? Samsung is usually pretty good but I do know off hand that vizio is not which I was dumb for even thinking of after my moms bad experience with a $600 tv that only lasted 40 days & she had to replace. Thanks & no negative feedback needed
for the Lg I paid $622 out the door for today with tax
I checked out the store reviews & cnet reviews on all TV's & many others & the LG & Samsung both had 4.5 stars & not very many negative so I hope its a good tv as well just never had an lg or known anyone to.



Answer
LG is a company that is trying to become a competitor with Sony, Samsung, etc.

They do some ... sleazy things to create fake buzz around here, but I suspect they are trying to create a competing product for good prices to take over some of the market.

So LG might be a better value because they are trying harder to grow.

Consumer Reports likes the LG brand (but they do include the price of the TV in their recommendations). I do not recall seeing any reviews in the more dedicated Home Theater magazines so I do not know what the experts think.

For $622 - I suspect you got a decent, mid-range television. A Panasonic TC or SC series would probably give you a better image with a high-quality BluRay source - but these start at about $1200 - double for a increase in picture quality only from BluRay. I suspect you bought a good television at a good price.

Sorry I cannot be more specific.
