re: Please recommend a 4k TV in the $700 range

The reviewers in the link I posted said they couldn't tell a difference between the TCL @ 60 Hz and other Tvs @ 120 Hz. It does 120 Hz Clear Motion Index, which I assume is their way of saying that it makes the 60 Hz panel appear to be 120 Hz via software. I don't have the TV up and running so I can't share a personal experience (not that it would be worth a shite. Who buys a TV and tells the internet “I’ve made a huge mistake”), but the professionals are saying that it does a good enough job to not matter.

Previously we recommended a 120 Hz refresh rate in our Best TV, but we didn’t make it a requirement this time because in side-by-side tests no one in our panel could see the difference

The panel inside the 55P607 only has a 60 Hz refresh rate, so motion isn’t as fluid as it can be on a 120 Hz panel. Even if you don’t like motion interpolation (also known as the soap opera effect), 120 Hz panels look better due to faster pixel refresh and less motion blur. The TCL panel does run at 48 Hz with 24 Hz film content, so it does not suffer from judder, which is a large improvement over previous 60 Hz panels. While we would prefer a 120 Hz panel, we wouldn’t pay the extra money for it, and none of the members of our viewing panel noticed a difference in motion quality.
