LCD TV Rating

What LED LCD TV Refresh rate removes any "Judder"?

I have an old school CRT tv. It's old and I want to buy a new tv so that's why I need your help. Can you help me decide on a new Big Screen LED LCD TV? I hear that the newer models have a 240hz refresh rate. Previous LCD TV's have refresh rates of 60hz & 120hz. I need your expert advice before I drop some big time money on this Samsung 55" LED LCD TV. Which LED LCD TV won't give me any problems with the picture? The lower the refresh rate the more "Judder". Will an LCD TV with 240hz have any Judder problems? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-jkKtiknUFAj/p_30555B8000/Samsung-UN55B8000-LED-TV.html

1. Movie judder occurs because of the use of 3:2 Cinema pull-down techniques applied to TVs with 60 Hz refresh rates. So any TV with a 24p Cinema mode will remove Movie judder. This is true for either a 120 Hz or 240 Hz LED LCD TV. Motion jitter is virtually removed by 120 Hz refresh rates. There is NO need for 240 Hz refresh rates if motion jitter is your concern. Motion blur is another story. You will need at least 240 Hz to remove motion blur. The problem with ANY LCD TV (regardless of its back lighting technology) that uses interpretive frames (as practiced by Samsung & Sony TVs) is that they produce significant halos at just 120 Hz. Halos can be worse then motion jitter in certain moving scenes. 240 Hz refresh rates do NOT fix halos. Halos are a motion artifact of any interpretive motion flow processing. There is NO getting away from all motion artifacts with a LCD HDTV regardless of the refresh rates available today. The best TVs (besides CRT tube TVs) on the market today for motion still remain plasma HDTVs. Plasma HDTVs still do produce the smoothest & most detailed motion.
