60Hz vs 120Hz:What is the Refresh Rate?

A TV's refresh rate is how many times the screen refreshes itself every second. It's different from frames per second (fps), which defines how many frames the video source displays every second. The refresh rate is important for motion handling, as a higher refresh rate generally results in smoother motion, but it's not always the case. It's also important to not get confused with marketing terms that often inflate the refresh rate.

This video explains the differences between a 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rate, how it affects the image, and how companies will try to trick you into thinking the TV has a higher refresh rate than it actually has.

I hate 120hz movies. Like fast forward.

I love watching at 60hz better. Less eyes restraint and natural movement.

But as for gaming people, 120hz is way better because it respond faster and better.

Just bought the 55” Samsung QN700 8K 60Hz and its a veeery minimun decrease in the response compared to my 1080p 60hz old Samsung i had before. Bur the picture is crazy good

The explanation and robot voice don’t do it for me. Thanks though!

I recently purchased a Samsung Q60B to replace my Vizio P55-F1. The Vizio is 120hz and the Samsung is 60hz. Will I see a difference?

for a video about video quality there is a lot of still pictures

Audio must be stolen from somewhere. So many cuts in it. Hard to follow.

I recommend 120Hz for smoother motions.

Hello, please answer my question. My TV is Samsung Q60 A. Its features are 60Hz frame rate, HDMI 2.0 cable and 4K. With these features, can I get a PS5 or should I ban it because I can't pay for a TV anymore? Does this mean that bugs and consoles run on this TV without any problems?

Just get a human to narrate the video. There are still humans.

Hi!

I have a Sony X94J 65" 4K 120 hz TV and a Panasonic JX810 58" 4K 60 hz TV.

When I watch sports on cable channels or movies on streaming services, I cannot see a noticeable difference between my TV's when it comes to motion clarity or the picture quality.

Is 4K 120 hz meant only for serious video gaming like for Xbox Series and PS5?

Greetings from 🇫🇮😊

Is the 60Hz enough for watching TV and TV series/movies. I've never played games on TV!!!

Does sky and Netflix broadcast more than 60hz

[dapinkcat]

Bottom line: 60 is fine. Unless you're looking at tanlines.

[aliasgermerchant]

Is 60 Hz TVs are better to buy or 120. Hz Tv is a good option. I’m not a pro gamer but sometimes I play Xbox for the with the kids not actively involved so what is your suggestion?

[Mpafanai]

If it using AI automatied voice it should be written hertz instead of hz

What happened to 240 refresh rate how do you exclude that bro what happened to those tvs? Government gave us the wack stuff while they have the good, seriously tho they really took out 240 or 244 refresh rates

[rhovenom]

You keep saying REFRESHING! refreshing how???

[jessejaehnig]

I have a 10 year old Samsung 1080p that runs at 240hz. I have a better picture than most 4k TVs.

[wathah]

I am only into platformers not shooters, would more than 60hz monitor be worth it?

[flomastr]

crappy narration cutting off in many places
