Fake Refresh Rate Conversion
Samsung Clear Motion Rate vs Sony MotionFlow vs LG Motion Clarity Index

What is the real refresh rate for Samsung UE32F5500?

Could you add the refresh rates for the Panasonic TV models to the table?

LG is now advertising the refresh rate in terms of "Motion Clarity Index" and the TV show values of 200 Hz and 400 Hz for both 2D and 3D TVs. Is this an inflated number/marketing trick? What is the real refresh rate present in LG TVs?

For clarification, the refresh rates listed, even if they are only of the 120/240 Hz variety are still misleading. Here's why.
First off, there is no "LED" panel. All panels are LCD. LCD/LED refers to backlight only. All consumer LCD TVs have a fixed maximum refresh rate of 50/60 Hz depending on whether or not they are PAL or NTSC systems respectively. The 120/240 Hz specification is not the *panel* refresh rate, but instead the CPU's frame processing rate. That is, a 120 Hz TV can process 120 frames internally and a 240 Hz TV can process 240 frames internally. This internal refresh rate (I hate using that term for CPU processing) is of use only for frame interpolation on modern sets.
Frame interpolation is where elements of at least two successive frames are received and analyzed by the TV's CPU for processing. On a 120 Hz TV, the frame interpolation will work fairly well for 24 FPS and 30 FPS material as both fit into 120 at least three times. For 60 FPS material such as console games, computer display signals from a GPU, and certain broadcast signals, the frame interpolation used for motion blur reduction suffers from "hiccups". It is often referred to as the "hurry up and wait" effect where the motion smoothing will appear OK for a few frames, then suddenly de-sync for a couple of frames, and repeat the cycle. This is because there is no time to process the two key frames needed to go along with the third interpolated frame. At 60 FPS, on a 120 Hz TV, the TV can process two frames per refresh cycle, which does not leave enough time to inject an interpolated frame every other frame, which is necessary for motion smoothing to work properly. That is why TVs need processing at least three times the panel's refresh rate so that it can inject the interpolated frame in the time of each frame cycle.
In order to avoid the de-sync issue, a TV would have to have internal processing of at least 180 Hz for 60 FPS material to be displayed smoothly. However, there are only 120 Hz and 240 Hz TVs on the market (I ignore all those specifying higher Hz ratings because past 240 Hz there are no gains for frame interpolation). While a 120 Hz TV can perform proper motion smoothing on 24/30 FPS material with virtually no de-sync problems, a 240 Hz TV is needed to perform motion smoothing without de-syncing. In the case of a 240 Hz TV, the CPU in the TV has time to create three key frames and one interpolated frame from that data each cycle. In fact, true 240 FPS (Hz) internal processing leaves headroom in case of any signal issues or errata in a frame. This is why the soap opera effect is so much more pronounce on a 240 Hz TVs than 120 Hz TVs - with more time to process the key frames and interpolate a frame internally and headroom on top of that, the effect is much smoother and more consistent.
As for computer use, the reason the TVs won't accept a 120 Hz signal is because the panels are 60 Hz maximum. The only possibility of that changing is if the TV is 3D capable and accepts dual field 60 Hz stereoscopic 3D signals from the GPU or if the panel is upgraded to be a true 120 Hz (8.335ms) response time display.
Samsung is unfortunately leading the market once again with its disengeuous specifications on its 4k UHD TVs. Those TVs can process 1080p at 120 Hz/FPS, but can only process 4K (3840x2160) at 60 Hz/FPS. Despite Samsung's claims of HDMI 2.0 compliant ports, their H6950 TVs do not use true 4:4:4 chroma signaling. Instead they use 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, a method that is not an official HDMI 2.0 spec, but was added in HDMI 2.0 as an "unsupported" spec. This is to allow the TV to receive 3840x2160p60 signals over HDMI 1.4 systems. It is no coincidence that nVidia used the same trick with their Kepler GPU drivers, which also send only 4:2:0 chroma signals to the TV/monitor instead of 4:4:4 chroma signals. This is to reduce the bandwidth needed so an HDMI 2.0 compliant port is not required. Sadly, even the GTX 980 from nVidia can still only net you a 4:2:0 signal into Samsung's H6950 TVs even though those cards have true HDMI 2.0 ports capable of 4:4:4 chroma signaling @ 60 Hz. This is why nearly every review of the Samsung H6950 series is negative when coming from somebody using it as a computer display. It can display 1080p at 4:4:4 chroma, but not 2160p. Such is the misleading way of Samsung. At the time of this post only Panasonic has a true 2160p60 input that can handle 4:4:4 chroma signals because it is the only one with a DisplayPort 1.2 port. If you are intending to get a 4K TV to use as a computer monitor, be aware that you will most likely need to wait until they start putting DisplayPort 1.2 connections onto their sets as that is the only way to guarantee a proper connection and color reproduction.
Anyway, bottom line is this: If you need motion smoothing for only 24 FPS (Blu-Ray) and 30 FPS (DVD/OTA Broadcast), or 60 FPS Interlaced (DTV) material, a 120 Hz TV will suffice. If you intend to use 60 FPS (progressive scan) material with motion smoothing, you will need a 240 Hz TV to avoid de-sync issues. For PAL regions, substitute 100 Hz/200 Hz TVs for the 120 Hz and 240 Hz specified for NTSC respectively.

The table seems to have changed, LG 200 MCI was previously categorized under 50hz but it is now 100hz. Any reason why this changed?

Could you please add a table for Toshiba as well? I have a 40TL938G with a 200Mhz AMR. I'd really like to see the refresh rate of the panel. The TV is fine for me - just wanna know if it's something better for a similar price, as I need to buy a new one soon :).

Is 200Hz CMR good for LED TVs and is there a big difference with 400Hz CMR in term of picture sharpness and clearness?

Please excuse the apparent impertinence of this question, but are you sure your table of refresh rate values for Panasonic in the "rest of the world" section is correct for 200hz equivalence? Panasonic don't seem to have ever offered a 3600 Hz backlight scan (ie equiv. to 200hz) in any size, price range or yearly range inc. 2013 - max is 1600Hz backlight scan. Is it possible that they do not understand the requirements for active 3D, or has there been some sort of typo in your table perhaps?

Are the new Toshiba ClearScan refresh rates actual refresh rates?

What does Samsung mean by having a tv like the UN65F6300 with a 120hz and a Clear Motion of 240? Also the 6400 is listed at 120hz but a Clear Motion of 480? This is confusing to me

How can I find that information before purchasing a LED TV?

My Philips has a 100 Hz Perfect Motion Rate. What is its actual refresh rate?

How does the Panasonic Back Light Scanning Hertz equate to the actual refresh rate of the picture? An 800Hz BLS in general refresh rate terms?

What is the actual refresh rate for the TOSHIBA 50L2333? All sellers are saying 100Hz, but some say 50Hz! I need a decent refresh rate as im getting a TV primarily for gaming (next gen 1080p). So what would the AMR 100 do?

Above, you note the real refresh rate for the Samsung H7150 is 240 Hz and the HU8550 is only 120 Hz, while Samsung quotes a higher CMR for the HU8550. Should I take this to mean that while the HU8550 is slightly better in terms of picture quality (with UHD), the H7150 actually handles motion better? If watching sports on each, would there be more pronounced blurring on the 8550 compared to the 7150?

I was wondering how the 240Hz readings are taken. Does it include "black frames" as well (via black frame insertion or strobing backlight), or something similar? Because from what I've seen, on computer monitors, even TN panels are still at 144Hz. There is only one VA panel that has reached 120Hz. And there are only unofficial imported Korean IPS monitors that can overclock to 120Hz, but usually giving error artifacts or dropping frames. Officially IPS panels are still at 60Hz. So how is it possible that TVs have twice (or quadruple, if you compare to the 60Hz) as high refresh rates, without even breaking a sweat? And yes, I understand TVs have a 60Hz limit for input, and understand that internal processing can raise the "output" higher. In essence, I could and would accept 120Hz, but 240Hz just seems so far-fetched. So what I'm really asking: are there really genuine 240Hz panels already? And why haven't they brought them to computer side? Or even 120Hz IPS/VA, for that matter? If the output were "genuine" 240Hz, even if interpolated, wouldn't that mean 24fps movie would give nine extra frames between the original frames?

Is lg 800hz MCI better than Samsung 400hz CMR?

Are you sure Sony 480 uses a 120Hz panel? I thought they used a 240Hz panel.

LG 47LN5400 shows "TruMotion 120Hz" on LG website, no reference to actual refresh rate, and no reference at all to this feature in the box or manual. In the stores (Bestbuy, Futureshop, Costco, etc.) they are advertising as native 120 Hz and TruMotion 120 Hz. From your table, it looks like trumotion 120 hz is actually 120 hz, but reading over your article it seems like it could be 60 hz or 120 hz and the truth remains hidden.

What is the refresh rate of sony KDL-46W700A ?

Read your review of the Sony KDL48W600B. You state that it is a native refresh rate of 60hz. In your Q&A Section for refresh rates is the following exchange dated May 5, 2014: What is the Sony KDL-50W815B refresh rate? All W series are 120/100 Hz in 2014. Which is correct? I am interested in the answer for KDL-48W590B being sold in US beginning March of 2014. Btw, off-angle picture quality of this w590b seems much better than you showed for w600b on Star Trek Out of Darkness in vivid mode.

LG advertises their 4k 65ub9500 as having a 240hz refresh rate - is this false advertising?

Hi. I'm looking at buying the 60" F7100 in Singapore, where it is listed as CMR 600MHz. That doesn't seem to match its US counterpart listed at 720 in terms of real refresh rates (first falls into 100MHz and second into 240MHz). Am I misreading the chart and are the two TVs in fact the same?

What is the real refresh rate for the LG 50LB6000?

I have a 2013 Samsung LED TV. The model number is un55f8000bfxza. Is this a 240Hz panel, as that is what it says on the box but I can't find it in the specs?

I just wanted to say thank you for this site. I just discovered it and it has taught me the most about these topics. Far more than any other site. And the fact that you respond to every single question is outstanding.
Finally, I wanted a to offer a special thank-you to the user who provided the huge comment above starting with: "For clarification, the refresh rates listed, even if they are only of the 120/240 Hz variety are still misleading. Here's why."
I use my 4k television for a computer monitor and this answered many, many questions I had and couldn't find clear answers for anywhere else.
Finally, a question. I'm looking for more resources similar to this site that specialize in information regarding using televisions as computer monitors. I have a Sony KD65x8500b that I am using as a monitor connected to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 780Ti. The video card uses HDMI 1.4 but my television is HDMI 2.0 compatible. The exception is that I believe the 2.0 specification on the TV is simply the 4:2:0 versus the full 4:4:4.
Basically, I'd like to have a resource to reference/learn the relationships between the GPU and the TV, and about things like the refresh rate that I set on the GPU, the framerate at which the media I'm watching is recorded, the television specifications, interpolation, and other variables all factor together and what I can do to optimize my setup. I am also unsure if my television is going to have future support for new connection standards.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and thanks again. Amazing website!

What is the refresh rate for the Samsung 55" curved UN55HU8700?

Hitachi has "120Hz 1080p Perfected (1920 x 1080)". What does this mean?

I purchased a TCL 48" set on Amazon.com which claims it has a Refresh Rate of 240hz. When I received my set I noticed there was no lag or judder BUT there wasn't that Soap Opera Effect I liked from an old Samsung set I had. Upon researching TCL's website, they do not list the set as being "240hz". Upon further research I found that Samsung and other companies purchase TCL's panels to make their own sets. I'm not sure if the set has a refresh rate of 240 since I cannot enable/disable it on the set. Do you know if the model LE48FHDF3300ZTA has a true refresh rate of 240 or 120 or is it just a 60 hz rate with a high backlight processing speed? I'm thinking the latter but not sure. Any help is appreciated.

LG 47LN5700 -- this 'trumotion 120' is throwing me off. Is this true 120hz or not?

I am about to buy the LG 55LA6408. Most comments at the internet say that it has a 50 Hz panel. Are you really sure that it's 100 Hz?

What is the Samsung UA46F5500 refresh rate?

What is the refresh rate of Sony KDL-42W653A?

What is the refresh rate of the Samsung UE46F6105?

First of all, thank you for this very interesting article. I know you have kind of answered this already, but there are infinitely many websites out there that point out that the series (LA)6 by LG have 50Hz panels (specifically the 55LA6608). Only a handful claim they are 100Hz. How can we be sure what really IS in there? Any official data or absolutely reliable test/source?

I may not have been specific with my prior question. You answered that the Samsung UN60H7150 is 240Hz but the actual refresh rate doesn't really matter - what does and is this a good TV?

Can you please post the refresh rate of the LG 42LB670V? MCI is 700 Hz and it's not in the table yet.

What is the actual refresh rate of the LG LB652T 42"?

Is the real refresh rate for the Sony XBR55X800B 120hz or 60hz?

Is "TruMotion" a gimmick? It's a video software that interpolates up to 120hz -- but they've only got 60hz frames. Is that typical of all 120hz tvs? Using a video software to make it 120hz? or do some (better) models provide legitimate 120hz frames?

I really enjoy this article and the questions listed. Being in the market for a 32 inch HDTV, I just purchased a Vizio M321-A2 (60Hz real refresh rate), and it seems to be fairly good, with some mixed reviews. It apparently uses backlight scanning to get the advertised 120 Hz "effective refresh rate". I noticed that with the picture settings off, it seems to behave a little better. I like to watch sports, and am concerned with motion blur, which I notice sometimes. Was contemplating exchanging with a Samsung UN32F6300, which seems to be a 120hz Real Refresh Rate (CMR=240), but costs a few hundred dollars more. Do you feel that it would be an overall better HDTV?

Let's use Samsung as an example: real refresh rate 100Hz and CMR 400HZ. So even if the processor creates 400 frames per second, the panel is capable of displaying only every fourth of those? Meaning the real output rate is 100 frames per second? If this is true, what's the point? Is the misleading marketing message enough to justify the additional cost of the higher end processor (from manufacturer point of view)?

The 32LN5400 has 100 MCL, which translates to 50Hz panel refresh. If I hook it up to my GPU and use VSync, does it mean that I will be stuck with 50Hz? Or can it display 60Hz?

Is the price difference worth it between a VA and an IPS LCD panel?

Which LED TV has the highest real refresh rate of all?

I am considering buying an LG 3D TV (the 47LB6500), but I couldn't find the actual specs. Some websites say it is 100hz, 120hz, etc. The LG catalog states an MCI of 500, and in your chart LB6300 is MCI600. Shouldn't a higher model number have the same or a higher MCI?

I've read bad reviews for the LG 65LB5200. Is it really that bad, and how would it be for PS4 gaming?

It seems like some Samsung TV's have 60hz, and have Clear Motion Rate 240, like UN55HU6830FXZA, but the chart says that 240 Clear Motion Rate corresponds to 120hz.

What is the difference between backlight scanning and backlight strobing?

I am looking at a 50" Samsung LED Smart Full HD 1080P TV with 120 Clear Motion Rate (CMR) or a "not smart" version of the same for about the same price with 240 CMR. I like the idea of having "Smart" capability. Will I really notice the difference on a 120 vs 240 CMR?

I just bought a Toshiba with a supposed frame rate of 120hz. However, when I push the info it reads "frame rate: 60." Why the discrepancy? Are these different units of measurement?

I just purchased a LG 60LN5710 from Best Buy at $899. It is advertised at 120HZ, is this the true Hz? I just looked on LG's website, it mentions the MCI at 800.

I purchased a Samsung un55d7050 from Costco last year. I thought it was a top of the line tv. Its clear motion rate is 720 and I got it for $1600. I just saw a new Samsung that's out with a clear motion rate of 1200, but the TV is $2600. Is it that much of a difference in picture to justify an extra $1000?

What is the Sony KDL-70W850B refresh rate?

I bought the Panasonic 42ET60H last week. Occasionally the motion is not smooth, especially when a person onscreen moves their hand quickly (on the TV signal). However, sometimes the look is smoother while watching a movie (from Paid TV via broadband). I'm wondering if it's a problem stemming from the source. Is it related to the native refresh rate of 100Hz? I am confused.

What is the refresh rate of the LG 55LA6608?

Why are Samsung TVs more expensive than ones made by LG? For example, I bought the Samsung F6800. It's great, but I notice the LG LA7400 is the same price and has better hardware. What's with this difference in price when the rate of LG in this series is higher than Samsung series 6?

What is the Sony KDL-40HX752 refresh rate?

Are you going to be reviewing the Sony KDL60W630B? If not, could you tell me the real Motionflow rating? Some sites list 240 or 480.

Do TVs with 50 Hz panels sold in Europe really support only native 50 Hz instead of native 60 Hz when connected to an external device that outputs a 60 Hz image (as opposed to the 2 x 25 Hz = 50 Hz PAL image)? I ask because it seems economically inefficient to me that a TV manufacturer would produce both 50 Hz for Europe and 60 Hz panels for North America instead of just 60 Hz panels for the entire world.

I was considering 2 TVs: a Samsung un32eh5300 and a Vizio m321i. I bought the Samsung, but the picture is poor. Does the Vizio model have an actual or fake 120 refresh rate? Should I exchange my Samsung for the Vizio?

I didn't find your review of the Samsung UE40F5300. Can you tell me its real refresh rate?

What is the true refresh rate for the Vizio m492i-b2?

Why does a 120Hz TV really cost a lot more than a 60Hz TV? 60Hz TVs are usually cheaper.

What is the actual refresh rate on the JVC EM55FTR 55?

Great article. I'm confused though. If I'm reading it right, your first table in the article shows LG MCI 120 as really being 120 HZ. Most articles I read on the LG LB 5550 49" say the 120 MCI is really 60HZ. Can you clarify? I bought one and I'm scared to open the box. I want to be able to return it if it isn't really 120HZ.

Man, wished I would have found your site sooner, I just bought a Samsung HU9000 65" and see that the hyped 1440 is only 120Hz, I watch Blu-ray and will have an Xbox hooked up for gaming. So my question is will this supposedly high end TV handle all this without the motion issue I have with my 47" 120Hz LG, and will it be good enough when 4k is displayed?

Where does Plasma fit into all this? It has a 600Hz refresh rate, right? Will it do better with fast action sequences or not? Are there any manufacturers still selling them? Is anything left, or just old inventory?

Does the lg 65ub9500 have a 240 hz refresh rate? How about the Samsung hu8550?

What is the actual refresh rate of the LG 65ub9500? Also, I have different settings for sports and movies. Do you have any advice? I like the brightness because my room is bright for sports, but not crazy about the black levels. Last question - if the actual refresh rate is only 120 hz as I suspect, is there another 4k 65 inch you would recommend that would both be good in a bright room for sports and have better contrast for movies?

The top table claims Sony MotionFlow 960 is 240 Hz Real Refresh Rate, while the Sony table below claims 120 Hz. Which one is correct? Also what is the definition of "Real Refresh Rate"? The number of actual distinct frames displayed (easily checked with a hispeed camera these days)? Are black "frames" also counted?

We are looking at the Samsung UN55HU7200 4K TV. Can you tell me about the refresh rate and what you think about curved TVs?

Do you have any information on the Samsung 55JS9000?

The Samsung 6840 UHD 4k clear motion 240 is not any better then the Samsung 6950 UHD 4k?

What is the real refresh rate of a Vizio D55U-D1? Thanks.

I have a question, though it may be off-topic. How is Vizio able to do full-array in their P, M, and E-Series TVs so much cheaper than anyone else? Or is Vizio's use of full-array not correct? Thanks.

When will you be updating the fake refresh rates for 2016? As well as the backlight types on the TVs for 2016? I cannot find the section anywhere on the site anymore for the backlight types.

Would viewing 3D on a Sony 120Hz panel with 240 Motionflow activated give the same effect as viewing 3D on a true 240Hz panel?

Would an LED 120Hz TV bought in the USA (power source of the item 100V ~ 240V, 50/60Hz) work in France if I hooked it up to a USB TNT tuner or a French cablebox like Freebox?

I play a lot of FPS and stuff on PS3, but I am experiencing lag on a console. My TV is a BenQ 23 or 24 inch Full HD LED, but it only has 50hz (I live in Denmark so we have 50hz 100hz 200hz 400hz 600hz 800hz). So would it make a difference if I bought a TV with 100hz, or shall I go safe and pick up a 200hz TV?

Which is a better TV between the Vizio M401i-a3 and the Samsung UN40f6300?

I also forgot to ask what the real refresh rate of an LG 32LB520B is.

How is the refresh rate 60Hz when the CMR is 240 and, according to your table, CMR 240 = 120Hz refresh rate? This was the answer you gave before for the Samsung un55hu6840 4k. "The newest Samsung un55hu6840 4k tv: What is the real refresh rate, and is it a true 4k tv? It has a 60Hz refresh rate (no motion interpolation). Yes, it is a true 4k TV."

I'd all appreciate any advice you would provide to make the viewing better. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I just bought the Vizio M43-C1 for my bedroom. I wanted a new 4k TV and for the price it seemed good. I asked the sales man what the actual refresh rate was since it only listed their made up numbers and he stated it would be 120 hz however your table states it is only a 60 htz, is this accurate? Is this a good tv or will the picture quality not be very good for TV and Blu-Rays?

Hello, i am trying to understand the details of today's tvs and their refresh rates and I'm a little confused. There was a previous comment that you seemed to agree to that stated that tvs, regardless of what you have listed in your "real refresh rate" column of your charts, have a maximum refresh rate of 50hz/60hz depending on the system standard and that the 120hz/240hz varieties were merely the tvs cpu frame processing rate that make interpolating frames easier/more effective. Which is it? Are all tvs limited to displaying only 60 frames per second and any of the actual "true refresh rate" numbers(120hz/240hz) are merely the processing power of the tvs cpu in determining the correct interpolating frames to insert into the delivered 60fps picture? Thanks in advance for helping me understand.
