Looking for a tv to watch cable and movies. What tv will display 60fps? And do I need a special hdmi?

no. when you get up to 120Hz it takes a later generation cable, but any version will do 60Hz.
i use an LG 47" 60Hz 1080p television through HDMI as a secondary display for my PC and it does 60fps fine with V-Sync enabled in games.

what's the problem with the Samsung? just no signal or does it respond with an error?

Do I need a special hdmi to view 60 Fps? My tv does 720p at 60fps but doesn't seem to be working. Tv is a Samsung j6200 50 inch

I'm trying to get my xfinity cable box to display at 60fps. No error just doesn't seem to be 60fps to my eyes

television and movies display at ~24 fps unless they are HFR(High Frame Rate) Blu-Ray. though they display ~24 frames per second they are still transmitting at 60Hz refresh rate.

if your Samsung has a ClearMotion setting it will fake a higher frame rate by displaying the same frames multiple times. makes live action like news and sports look more life-like and with animated videos it looks a lot smoother but with most regular movies and shows it just looks strange to me.
