Comment on Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz “effective refresh rate” | Vizio claimed backlight scanning made refresh rates seem twice as high.

Wow I really thought I was the only one (okay not literally).

Any show would look like reality TV and the added interpolation just made movement a blurry mess. I steered clear of 60+Hz TVs until this very day because I hate them so much

You know you can just turn the feature off if you don’t like it, right? The refresh rate of the TV has nothing to do with it.

  Sorry I wrote that in a bit of a hurry so I took some shortcuts in my words. Yes, refresh rate isn’t the same as framerate.

  Not if it’s the TV of a random person I am visiting. First time I noticed it.
  
  The thing is, why buy a 600Hz TV if you’re going to turn it off immediately? That’s why I (as a rule of thumb) didn’t bother with TVs that advertised with 200/400/600Hz modes.
