60hz is sufficient for TV and movies. It might be a little less than you need for the newest and most graphic-intensive games, but you'll be happy with it. The one you picked has a ton of inputs and Samsung speakers usually sound great. If you're trying to fit an storage unit nicely and this one lets you get the biggest TV it can fit, go for it. Most people don't notice the differences in refresh rates. As long as you don't invite Matty over, no one will say anything about it other than "nice TV". :cheeky-sm

Samsung is my favorite brand. I have a 42" Sammy and it was the best-looking picture in the store. A few years old and still looks awesome.

I've noticed Samsungs are usually the brightest and clearest displays in the stores. They're one of the best, if not THE best.

Funny I was at WalMart and just happen to stop by the TV's to see what they had when a lady in that dept. asked if I needed any help. To my surprise she seem to know her stuff about the TV's and said this TV had high ratings. She said if I watched sports I might want a higher HZ but said nothing about playing games. I don't play video games so would 60HZ be fine for sports or should I look for 120Hz? I do have space issues and I have only found a few 40" TV's that will fit in a space un 38".

If you are from 480 to 720/1080 you will never notice the mhz thing
