Panel rate is a fixed rate. So your input video is at some rate but is put on the screen at the panel rate.
Tough to grasp at first.
As to swivel bases I can see that going away on big screens and litigious users.
I'm looking into getting a new TV. I was considering the Samsung 65" KS8000 for one reason it has 240 Motion Rate.
My current TV is a Samsung 750 7 Series, 1080P Resolution with 240hz refresh rate.
I do not like motion blur so I purchased a TV with 240hz refresh rate.
Because I do not like the soap opera effect I have the Auto Motion Plus turned off and Edge Enhancement turned off.
Since I have these turned off is it running at 120hz or 240hz?
Since I have it turned off is it that important to have my new TV with 240?
Also, I will need to hookup a VCR to the new TV. Is their a company that makes a devise so I could hookup my VCR to HDMI?
Not sure why some TV manufactures no longer make TV's with a swivel base.
