Samsung 6030 vs 5000 series

[celtic34]

Just picked up a 40 inch 6030 tv from Samsung.

It was $499.99. I was also looking at the 5000 series which looks like the same tv just not 120 hz. Both have clear motion. The one I have is 120 hz(240 cmr) vs 60 hz(120 cmr). The tv I got is also 3d enabled. I have a ps4 and have been gaming on a 32 inch Panasonic which was 720p/1080i. It was basically fine but wanted to get the full experience. I can defintaely notice the difference as far as depth and just higher resolution. I've also messed around with the clear motion stuff and already turned it off. I don't really like it. It gives that soap opera effect which is sort of nice but kind of makes everything look weird especially movies.

The 5000 series is basically just a 1080p tv 60 hz. Pretty standard. I don't know if I need these extra features. $369.99 vs $499.99. I'm considering returning this and swapping it. Not exactly rolling in money and $140 difference. I got this though because it had everything and want it to be good through this generation of gaming and tv. I just don't know if 120 hz or 3d will ever be worth it. They also had a sharp tv for $429 which was 1080p 120hz 40 inch tv without 3d. I don't trust sharp as much though. This tv is really nice. I don't need a huge tv though. 40 is almost too big as it is and burns my retinas lol. 32 was fine. 39 would be fine to me. The bigger screen and 1080p defintaely makes games more impressive though.

Any advice??

ps4 isn't 1080p anyway. If you don't want the frills just buy the plain hamburger.

120hz on televisions isnt true 120hz. its only a 60hz input with post processing to make it seem like 120hz. this will cause visual lag in games and should be disabled. i always suggest getting 60hz tvs but they are becoming harder and harder to find. while it might work for movies most of the time it will be disabled.

clearmotion is also something you will be disabling 99% of the time.

the ps4 doesnt render the games at 1080p normally, it just upconverts i believe.

if you like the look of the cheaper tv in the store (if it looks to be visually the same) then i'd probably go with that route unless you think you would want 120hz & cm for movies. your choice really.

I think i'm going to swap this for the other tv then. It's a $140 which seems like stuff I won't even use and might even cause more problems then it's worth. The ps4 is rendering at 1080p though. last gen was 720p. That's the whole reason I got a new tv.

as far as features though the differences between the 2 tvs is 60 hz vs 120 hz. I think you are confusing cmr with the actual hertz of the tv. Not sure. This tv I believe is actually 120 hz. Just most stuff isn't using it. With clear motion it can render up to 240 hz with post processing effects like you are talking about. This tv also has 3d and an Ethernet connection for updates and stuff. That's the only difference I can find. I d on't know if that's worth $140. the hz was the main reason I got this one over the other thinking it may make a difference eventually.

The 60 hz tv is 120 hz cmr which is basically 120 hz post processing. That's the fake number. The actual hertz of the tv is different than that.
