      There is a reason that television, youtube and such doesn't make anything over 30Hz, because it just isn't very important.

      Content is not made in Hz. It's frame rates. the only affect it has on that is that it has to be divisable by it hence why their is PAL and NTSC for 50hz and 60hz broadcast systems respectively.

        Framerates are measured in cycles of frames per second, though. So 30 frames per second, for example.

          @garak0410 Motion blur is a well documented effect of TVs running at 60Hz. Whether anyone likes it or not and TVs running at 120Hz or 240Hz do suffer from less motion blur.

          If you don't watch sports or play games, probably not something you'll ever really complain about but with this crowd, I'm betting you're interested in at least one of those.

          Do yourself a favour and google "motion blur on led tv" and decide for yourself whether you believe it will be an issue for you or not. Don't just rely on what I or others say and make your mind up about what the truth is.

            Sure LEDs are known to do it but it's based on pixel response. most likely you get a higher refresh rate tv that cost more and it will have better response times but it's not related to the refresh rate directly.

              60Hz refresh rate. That you will notice if you're a sports fan. There will be a blur that follows any fast moving object. Gets

              No shows broadcast even at 60, let alone above it. THe human eye can't see 60Hz. No issues there.

              I don't buy this.

              Back on the day I would get headaches on a 60hz monitor, bump it to 70, headaches gone.

              I agree. I know I can see a 60Hz cycle.

                But not 60 frames/sec.

                  I'm just relying on physics. It's physically impossible for the Hz to determine blur. If it's documented, it's just people who are confused. If you know what the frame is, you'd understand why no frame rate can create blur, it's just impossible. Anyone who things it does, is confused. It's that simple. Just think about what the frame rate is, how do you think blur is possible from that?

                    Right, exactly. Just because the 60Hz TVs you are talking about have a bad pixel response doesn't imply that it is the 60Hz that is causing the blur. The two are unrelated. No one is saying that you aren't seeing blur, or that it is happening on some 60Hz TVs....only that there is no direct correlation between the two and cannot be.

                      To be fair though, if pixel response can keep up with 50Hz frame-rates but not 60Hz, and the human eye can't detect the difference, you'd actually be functionally better off with a 50Hz frame-rate television. So, there IS a correlation between the two, but it's not a function of the frame-rate; it's more of an "if-then" relationship.

                        A 60Hz TV can do 50Hz, though. So that would not be an issue. The 60Hz is just the top speed. In reality, anything over 30Hz isn't really useful for broadcast stuff.

                            That's not true. Frequencies of the TVs to not create blur but frame rates indeed can. The standard cinematic cadence is using 24p and indeed 24p has motion blur compared to the 60i of broadcast which is smooth motion.

                              No, even that does not. The blur you are seeing there is in the image, not from the TV. If each frame of 24p was crisp, it would look crisp to the eye. It is not the framerate creating the blur but the standard long exposure of the camera. If you moved the aperture time on the camera to reduce the blur, it would go away.

                              Here is the proof: still images are the lowest possible frame rate... 1/infinity. And you can make a still image that is crisp or blurry. So with a still image we can easily demonstrate that the blur from low framerate always comes from the image, not the framerate.

                              What people see is that things shot at 24p commonly have blur added for cinematic effect and things shot at 30p tend to have less and things shot at 60p tend to have far less. But it's "how people commonly use the framerate" not caused by the framerate.

                                    Images with motion can be capture without blur because they do not have to stay within a specific shutter angle for the framerate. They can set it however they wish to get a very short or long exposure. This is not the case with film, frame rate dictates shutter angle.

                                      It's absolutely related. Still footage is just a really slow framerate and there can be zero blur. Take still images and move them to 1fps, still no blur. 2fps, still no blur. Blur only comes from other things, never framerate.

                                        Here is the proof: still images are the lowest possible frame rate... 1/infinity. And you can make a still image that is crisp or blurry. So with a still image we can easily demonstrate that the blur from low framerate always comes from the image, not the framerate.

                                        Images with motion can be capture without blur because they do not have to stay within a specific shutter angle for the framerate. They can set it however they wish to get a very short or long exposure. This is not the case with film, frame rate dictates shutter angle.

                                        If you have a specific mechanical scenario where one is determined by another, that's fine, but it is the machine, not the framerate, causing the blur. Use a different camera with the same framerate and you can get whatever you want as far as blur.

                                          What people see is that things shot at 24p commonly have blur added for cinematic effect and things shot at 30p tend to have less and things shot at 60p tend to have far less. But it's "how people commonly use the framerate" not caused by the framerate.

                                          That's not true. I've worked in the film industry and have credits in several films. Sure some people add blur but shotting in 24p and with fast motion alone will cause blur. The fact that you can take a still image and have it not be blurry is in no way related.

                                          It's absolutely related. Still footage is just a really slow framerate and there can be zero blur. Take still images and move them to 1fps, still no blur. 2fps, still no blur. Blur only comes from other things, never framerate.

                                          Dude just shut up. This whole thread is obvious you have no clue what the hell you are talking about but contuie to make up stuff, like always.

                                            I thought we were discussing the mechanics of the TV, not how films are shot? Those aren't really related. You're comparing the refresh rate of a digital component with an analog recording media. Apples to oranges. And, does any of this have anything to do with whether this is a good TV for the price?
