To add to this, media has historically been filmed at 24 fps and this is what makes the mismatch between 60 hz tv and films/shows.

A TV set to 60 hz isn't a multiple of 24 so it can't just hold all the frames for an equal fixed amount of time and so some other method is needed for displaying some of the frames, like interpolation. A 120 hz tv can avoid this mismatch and just hold all the frames for a count of 5 so interpolation isn't needed. Interpolation can lead to jarring visuals for some people, but other people are fine with this. As someone else mentioned, this is an effect that soap operas make use of to affect us as we watch certain scenes.

One way to avoid this issue with 60hz TVs is to switch the picture mode to movie when watching media, which limits the display to 24 hz, and then some other picture mode when playing games or watching higher fps videos. That said, just getting a 120 hz tv means you don't have to remember or fiddle with any of this.

Soap opera effect is a result of motion interpolation, not refresh rate.

Super happy with it, bright with great colors. 60hz kills for some, but perfect for me and my non-gaming setup

Do they still let non-members purchase for a percentage fee vs. paying a full year membership fee? Even with paying for a membership and this being 60hz... might be worth it?
have a member buy you gift cards and you will be able to use it without a membership

It makes up frames using the prior frame and next frame.

If the media is 30fps and you have a 120hz display and you have it turned on, then 3 frames will be created between the prior frame and the next frame. This can be jarring and creates an overly smooth transition between frames.

If you have it turned off, then the same frame will displayed 4 times instead, which helps reduce ghosting.

This. Our eyes naturally expect some level of blur between frames. Motion interpolation inserts frames where there were not meant to be. HOWEVER, that effect will be more pronounced if the refresh rate is higher - so it is indeed linked to frequency, but really is a side effect of interpolation. With this said - most if not all TV have an option to turn it off (sometimes dubbed theather / movie mode)...

Someone mentioned this tv is a Costco variant of another tv. What model is it? I can't find reviews for the costco version.

This seems like a great deal with 3 year warranty included. Thinking this will be a good upgrade over an old plasma tv I have since 2008

My sentiments exactly, it just looks weird.

I'd want to be able to turn it on and off for certain parts of sports, but that's about it.
You can turn it off and on in the TV settings.

There should be a faster, instant one button way to disable/enable imo.

I'm looking at this with the same reasoning. What plasma do you have? I have a 60" LG and it works perfectly but man is that thing a furnace.

How is the picture quality and brightness compared to a Vizio or Samsung?

I have a 50 inch Samsung plasma tv. It was a great tv but sadly it has developed two vertical lines in the screen.

For those that say this will suck for gaming...what exactly is the issue? If I cap my FPS at 60 (when applicable), will this still "suck for gaming"? I have a 63" Samsung plasma from 2012 this would replace. I have to imagine it will look better. I don't notice any issues when gaming on my current TV (PS5 - Helldivers 2, Fortnite, Rocket League)...its just old, weighs 100lbs and radiates heat like the sun.
