Decided I am getting ready to upgrade to a 75” Samsung. I have 2 options:
1. 7000 series QLED with a 120 Motion rate,
2. 8000 series QLED with 240 Motion rate.
My concern is there a significant difference between a 240 or 120 motion rate. Is it worth a $600 difference

“Motion rate” is Samsung for the refresh rate of the TV. Cut those number is half, 60Hz vs 120Hz. I believe the 8000 is also a 10bit panel. You might see a noticeable difference in color especially with HDR. Plus the ambient modes are different.

Thanks, I was planning on getting the 8000 series. Love the new LGs but I can’t see spending that kind of money

This. Always turn that shite off. It literally adds fake frames that are processed by the tv in between the actual real frames.

True 120hz panels can provide a slight upgrade when compared to 60hz tvs if you want to get super picky. Most people wont notice anything. But when watching movies, which are 24 fps, the 120hz tv will show each frame 5 times, while a 60hz tv shows one frame 3 times then the next 2 times and so on and can cause extra "judder"
