It doesn't. Motionflow will just give you that "glorious" soap opera effect. The reason for 120hz is important is because television is generally 30hz and movies are generally 24hz. While 60/30 is an even 2, however, 60/24 is 2.5, so it has to do a studder frame (see 3-2 pull down as an example of what that is like). With a 120hz, it is even split regardless if it is 24hz vs 30hz.
Edit: To be fair, some people are more bothered by the "studder" frame (extra b frame). Just like some are more bothered by the rainbow effect that DLP projectors put out.
I know technically it's 60hz ,but how does Motionflow XR 240 Technology help with this?

Someone has already stated the refresh rate is 60 hz. So either you have to be happy with judder, or minimize judder and have soap opera effect.

This TV removes 24p judder automatically from 24Hz sources. Unfortunately, it can't remove judder completely from 60p/60i sources or native apps, although setting Cinemotion to 'High' and Smoothness to max in the Motionflow menu can make judder less apparent."

Personally I think the sweet spot is the X85J, the 90 series gets too close to OLED pricing na the 80 is lacking features such as 120Hz.

Ikr? I don't even rep the OP if they don't put the rtings or BS link…
The specs seem on par with this Vizio I picked up for 700$ at Walmart.

It's also only 60hz and direct lit backlight. Vizio even supports Freesync.
When people talk about Sony TVs being so good I'm just not sure what the extra 300$ buys in this scenario.
