People get so scared of 60 hz most of you wouldnt even know if it didnt say-LOL
You can always turn off motion smoothing on almost all TVs, that's the first thing I do when I get the tv. I almost always use film maker mode if available for watching most of the content.

Okay, I don't even own a 4k displays of any kind in my house. Biggest TV is 42" and it's nearly 10 years old.
Which is surprising as I have an IT degree and used to really love my gadgets. But, my IT degree is 25 years old (I had never even been on the Internet until my second semester of college...only 2 out of 40 in our class had). So obviously all of my knowledge is ancient.

My question is...which is it that makes movies and especially tv shows look like you are in the studio while they are filming it...think it's commonly known as the "soap opera" effect. Is it 120hz refresh rate or is it where they add "artificial frames" to make it appear smoother. I think that's called motion interpolation maybe? A few of my relatives have whichever does that on their tvs...and I can't even hardly watch it. It's so distracting that it takes me right out of the movie. I just can't watch it. I just don't want to make a mistake and buy a set that has this. Thanks in advance

I know it's a budget model but seems like I would be fine considering I currently have a 7 year old 60" samsung 1080p. Thoughts?

It's the artificial frames like you said. I have a 120 hz TV with no soap opera effect.
As someone else mentioned, if the TV is using frame interpolation, you should be able to turn that off in the settings.

It's a motion interpolation issue, not a refresh rate, you can shut it off.

60Hz is totally fine but this is just a LED.
Not an OLED/QLED, pretty hard to go back on the brightness for me

In many cases your old 1080p may be super fine as a lot of 4K content is upscaled. I have a 1080p that I keep around and frankly it's super fine. Nowhere near my OLEDs, but that's obvious.

Kind of. The current thinking is 60Hz panels can't natively resolve 24p content (almost exclusively movies) because 60/24 is not an round number. More details and deeper explanation here: https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/motion/24p

True, 60 is not a multiple of 24, but most "soap opera" effect is from motion interpolation algorithms.
