I can't imagine what Elvis On Tour, That's The Way It Is, Jailhouse Rock, King Creole, or Clambake will look like on a Samsung 46".
Sounds like you're healing from the root canal quite well.

240hz makes a huge difference in motion smoothness, most flat screens on average are 120hz.

Mine is 120. And I saw the true HD version of 1969's Midnight Cowboy last night, and my eyeballs almost fell out of my head! It's 46 inches, and it streamed in, stunningly. (You can pause it, then finish another night.)
Anyway, I read some debate about the refresh rate, and decided to go with the 120hz. Perhaps there is a big difference, but what I saw last night, in this old movie, was just mind-blowing. It felt like time-travel: there I was in the New York City of the 1960s, as though I was back in childhood! It was all so REAL-looking! Beyond anything I expected! You can't even compare it to anything else!
I think if you are going to get a set that is 55" or bigger, you would definitely go with the 240. Absolutely. And with 7.1 surround, now. But that's a full home theater set-up. It's also a financial decision, with a sub-50" set: cost/benefit analysis.
Meanwhile, my 46" SMART Samsung, 120hz, is out of this world! This is now an "old" movie, and it was just magical! Magical.
And I have used YouTube Leanback, which is kinda cool. You activate it through a link with your phone, enter a code, and you chose the vid you want to watch on your phone, and it appears on the big screen. Dynamite for HD videos and concerts!
As far as the refresh rate, perhaps this make and model is a cut above, and that's why it's so good.

Oh, yeah, about the root canal: he refused to do it, and wants to pull my tooth! NO!I am seeking other opinions. I have no pain with it; it's the x-ray. Thank you for asking.

If you're that happy with 120hz, 240hz Tru-Motion and Motion2 Ultra will blow you away!

Not yet. Just getting around, and have a great HD "watch list" right now. That should be fun!
Gosh, even the commercials look great.
