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.::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.

      TVs have been operating at 50/60 Hz since they were invented. If you’re in an NTSC region (like North America), every TV you’ve ever owned refreshes the screen at 60Hz+, no matter how old you are.

      Refresh rate ≠ framerate
