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
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.
